i cant reply to anything you posted, the severity of what you wrote about Cash as a musician doesnt justify a reply and desimates any musical cred you had.
edit - i saw the post above - true, to each his own - dont take this the wrong way either 
ok you said great singer - half you cred is gone  |
yea, I don't think our musical tastes ever really lined up much from when we talked, heh. It's all good, man, it's just different flavors, like some guys like fat chicks and some guys like 'em thin. My favorite music tends to be pretty progressive artsy rock-oriented (A Perfect Circle, Tool, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley) so bluegrass & rockabilly is about the worst sounding crap in the world to me, heh. But there's people that feel the same way about art rock. Doesn't matter to me - that's what turns my gears and what turns me on. Rockabilly may turn you on. Then rock on with it - enjoy it. Doesn't mean you're not a good musician, doesn't mean I'm not, just different flavors. And Cash had a powerful low baritone that is one of the most distinctive voices ever put on record. That makes him a great singer. He didn't have any range and he wasn't always on key but he was distinctive and that makes a great singer way more then the other shit... A voice you can remember is the most important thing for a lead singer, way more important then always being 100% technically perfect... It's 5am here, I'm out, have a good one...
