Subject: RE: Weak Breathy Girly Vocals in Folk?
Thinking further,it ain't just the girls.I can think of few young male thrusters who do much other than under-sing a song.Most,if not all,are instrument accompanied and the strong trend is to let the instrument[s] be the listening focus.Where are the new unaccompanied singers?The reasons lie in the fact that revival singers of the60's/70's who took their material from traditional singers placed massively more emphasis on instrumentation.Today's young lights learn their material from the aforementioned revivalists and the song and quality of song becomes even more diluted.That's called development.Great singers exist in the underground movement,still,but few youngsters of alleged note know they exist,in my view.
