Default If you could have anyone's singing voice...
I would be more than happy with Ryan Adam's versatility!

Whom would you switch with?

If you could include a sample, that'd be great!

I'd say Leo Kotke who once likened his voice to "geese farts on a muggy day." That would be an improvement for me. But seriously, I'd choose the voice of either Jay Black (Jay & the Americans) or Johnny Maestro (The Crests and Brooklyn Bridge).

Easy answer for me, Kenny Rankin. The fact that he could play the guitar so well was just icing on the cake.

My vote is Kenny Rankin....or Dan Fogelberg. Both deceased but I thought they could have a great duo. For reference listen to Kenny’s Haven’t we met live album. Particularly Blame it on my youth and More than you know.

Maybe Gordon Lightfoot in his heyday.

Josh Groban. But I wouldn’t sing like that.

I think David Gates has a beautiful voice.



... and I like the mellow voice of John Gorka ... here's a clip from last year and note that AGFer Glennwillow did a great cover of this song too.
