Incredible talent. Not much of a singer, but a HELL of a songwriter.
All my rowdy friends done rowdied on down.
All the great song writers were mediocre singers. I'm talkin': John Prine, Steve Goodman, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Neil Young, even Willie Nelson I would put in this category.
A weird exception is Joni Mitchell. IMHO one of the best singers of all time, and an a-list writer too.
Agree 👍
Dolly?
Dolly and Cash?
