I think hes trying way to hard to make his voice sounds gritty, it sounds real real bad.
Don't think he has to try. It's years of smoking. I like it, but I can see why some would not.
I love John's voice, but I do agree that he was trying too hard on Walk Tall, actually ruining the song. His words are so important to me and he made them impossible to understand to anyone who didn't already know them. I don't want to end up thinking of him like Bob Dylan, love the man's work, but couldn't understand a damn word he said.
