My hangup is that my favorite male singer, and the one I wish I could sound like, is the late John Duffey of the Seldom Scene and, originally, the Country Gentlemen...but I'm a baritone. Hell, my wife can't reach Duffey's range.

Singers I admire most with range anything like mine: Stan Rogers, Ian Tyson (would moving to Canada help?), Tom Russell, Jim Ringer.
