My favourites have all been mentioned, but to reiterate them anyway, my three wishes would be Lowell George, Greg Allman, and John Cowen.

Since John Cowan is taken…. it is Rhiannon Geddons for the win. Or Del

Brad Delp for me. I can most often hit all his notes consistently but I don't quite have his tone.

Oh hey, seeing the name of the poster right above here made me think of a very underrated guy:
Tony Joe White. If I was stuck with his voice I would definitely not complain.

I just wanted to play guitar. I only started singing so I could play material I liked in a band and not find a singer. After all these years I find myself still singing doing solo shows. I pay attention to my singing to make it work but I really don't think about it. Though there have been moments when I hit a sustained note and hear my voice as it fills the room over the P.A. when I think "not bad".

Great idea for a thread.
This one will probably seem like out of left field, but I'll go with Michael Martin Murphey, and for one specific reason. I've always loved his song "Wildfire," but I'll tel[l you, folks, it's impossible to sing. Have you tried? It's impossible. The vocal range is out of this world. I went on YT and found the exact chords he uses. No way I could sing it there. I de-tuned my guitar one full step, then two full steps, and still couldn't hack it. I'm still trying to find someone (maybe a female?) who can sing this song in the key it was written (E) without having a vocal collapse and a nervous breakdown. Here's another cool little wrinkle from his guitarist -- transcribing that beautiful opening piano solo to guitar. I learned it, but it's a challenge for someone as mediocre as me. But it sounds pretty darn cool when you hit it. Last edited by Charmed Life Picks; 03-27-2024 at 01:13 AM. |

The refrain is tough especially the last “wildfire” before the verse starts again. We do it with a six and a twelve string combo.

For a nice sounding voice, I have always loved Vince Gill. James Taylor, McCartney and Jackson Browne ain't too bad either.
My favorite singer is probably Linda Ronstadt, but her voice wouldn't look good on me For expression, delivery etc. I love Lowell George, Tom Petty, Van Morrison. Bob Weir can really sing, too.

Great Take!!!

It's still early for me, but I "hummed along" and found I could hit most of the notes - that last bit on "riding Wildfire" at the end would be a stretch, but the rest of it I could handle. Songs in the key of E major can be problematic for me (and many others) because of that natural "break" in the male voice that occurs at the E and F notes. It is far easier for me to sing an F than that pesky E - I really have to think about it, relax and have plenty of air behind the note while not forcing anything... As a solo acoustic guitarist/singer, I play and sing a lot of songs in E - love to have that low bass note as a pedal/touchstone. But I always have to remember when the melody goes up to that high E note; somehow, when I know the notes are going higher than that, it's not a problem like nailing that E above middle C... Thanks for posting this one!!!
