The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They wanted to start recording rock 'n roll, and thought I had the right voice.
Voice is my instrument.
My songs were always about the tone of voice rather than the words.
My voice is an instrument.
I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.
Well, you know it was so different from when you rehearsed. You're out there with your guitar and trying to get a sound, but it doesn't sound anything like what you expect!
When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.
And in singing, what my voice lacked in quality it made up for in volume.
I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice.
And I had not much of a voice. I didn't play that great guitar either.
