William Elliot Whitmore is awesome.

Paul Janeway surprises also:

I think it was posted by you or Glamrock a few months ago. Some Spotify discussion broke out as I recall. If I'm wrong that would be on par....

And St Paul and the Broken Bones were most definitely included (Twice). Great singer and a fantastic band.

Glamrock is also a fan, so it may have been either of us

I had a similar experience the 1st time I saw Roy Clark and Buck Owens tear into a guitar duet.

"WAIT A MINUTE- These guys can PLAY?"

Has been done. That was the norm from the late 60s until just recently.

So it's kind of refreshing t hear Female Alto voice and Male Baritones rather than the soprano/mezzo soprano and even falsetto nonsense that was the norm.

IMHO Phrasing along with volume and pitch control was always a better gauge of a vocalists talent than pure "Range"

Also - Thanx for this tip. I don't believe that I've ever heard this band before.

New music that doesn't suck is always a damn well appreciated GIFT
