Listen to some of the crap that is popular with the younger set nowadays. If that’s what you’ve been listening to, it makes Colter Wall sound pretty good by comparison. :lol: For that matter, Ernest Tubb and some others weren’t great vocalists, but they were better than “pretty good” IMHO.

For me, the beauty of the older stuff like Tubb, ole Hank, early Elvis, Flatt & Scruggs, Monroe, and the rest, is the "live" studio work with no electronic douching of the voices or instruments. It gives the music an honest feeling. Those cats all stood together in a studio and did it till it was right, no tape, and the session "roughs" went right to a master disc until they got a satisfactory take. There are very few live sessions today. Vince Gill has done some. Individual parts can now be done on home equipment and sent digitally to the engineers to be punched in with the rest of the mix, and the "mastered". No matter how seamlessly it's done, a trained ear can hear the difference. Not knocking modern studio technology, it has it's place, but I prefer the real thing. The old guys called it "sizzle" and you only get it live. JMHO. J.O'.
