Blind Willie Johnson is a pretty big vocal influence. He can be very harsh, like gargly, gruff vocals, but also just slip into some very delicate, vulnerable soft stuff. I like that combination.

Nice tune, good voice...but what a strange video.
ReplyDelete"I just want to believe in something. I don't care if it's right or wrong." Not sure about that lyric.
The lyric you mention struck me too...it felt like that was true when he was a soldier, but then he rejects that in favor of his true, dancing self.
