blindboygrunt Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 i think this is a terrific show , check more of them out for elvis' lovely collection of gibsons . but was watching this and was very moved by kris' rendition here , (when he sings about the little girl its just totally believable ) a stellar example of not having to be pavorotti to be able to sing a song ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsc5Yz0DRTQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumblefinger Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm with ya on this one. You could add Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Mark Knoffler to this group. Not great singers, but think of how much poorer our world would be without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great singers, but think of how much poorer our world would be without them. all those guys are heros of mine , a singer doesnt have to be awful for me to like them , i'm a big fan of lots of different music, but when folk say things like 'tom waits! sure he cant even sing !' that gets on my goat :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ..it's always the spaces and gaps (letting the tune live and breathe) and knowing when not to get in the way that makes such a standard a classic ! Simple first lesson isn't it?....or lesson a zillion+. Some things just can't be tawt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdd707 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah and people like Dylan, Waits and Kristopherson gave the rest of us gravely voiced people permission to "sing". Good tunes and interesting phrasing works for the worst of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
