davidbeinct Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I have plenty of well recorded female singers to use when auditioning speakers (I plan to upgrade in the new year) but not as much for good male vocalists who are well recorded. Who would you recommend? I am primarily interested in those singers rooted in American styles of popular and folk music (e.g. blues, jazz, gospel, country, etc.). Link to comment

burnspbesq Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 There is an album that came out in about 2007 on Sunnyside called "Moss," by the group of the same name. The singers are Peter Eldridge, Theo Bleckmann, Luciana Souza, Kate McGarry, and Lauren Kinhan. Anything by New York Voices. The iconic J.D. Crowe & the New South album from 1976 features Tony Rice and Ricky Skaggs at the height of their powers. There is some great ensemble singing on the first five Poco albums, up to and including "A Good Feelin' to Know." The first Little Feat album after Lowell George's death, "Let It Roll," features some great singing by Craig Fuller (ex-Pure Prairie League). "Abandoned Luncheonette."

Jud Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 https://realworldrecords.com/release/29/go-tell-it-on-the-mountain/ Fabulous. One of my all time favorite recordings. Many fine male guest vocalists along with the Blind Boys themselves, including Tom Waits and Aaron Neville.

tne Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 George Jones. IMHO one of the very best male singers of the last century. The tone, the inflection, the feel for the music. Of course it helps if you like country music. Only redbook available AFAIK. Something like The Bradley Barns Sessions would work well.
