There is probably some truth to that Davey Boy. I think Esau is right on the money. Frankly these types of discussions frustrate/exhaust me. Not that they're not worth having i suppose, but i don't think they necessarily go anywhere. The whole label thing... I find too many people, fans, bands, artists, etc. spend too much time and energy trying to avoid a label, or define themselves outside of some imposed boundary. Who cares? The label doesn't change the sound that hits me. For me personally I love a "great" vocalist... How one would define "great" is a matter of taste. Hell, there's plenty of people out there that would consider Jerry's voice atrocious. To me it's like a warm blanket on a cold winter's night. Give me a great melody, some sweet harmonies, a lyric or two that resonates one way or another, and if there's a jam or some improvisation in there than that's just gravy...but not essential. Depends on the mood i suppose. I don't really care whether whether it's country, or jam, or fusion, or emo or whatever other category happens to be shique amongst the masses for a fleeting moment.
