You got it mixed up somewhere Alex. I know very well the difference between blues and "Hillbilly music" from the Appalachian mountains and elsewhere or rough versions of bluegrass. My point, from years ago, was that his style of singing, or howling if you like, gives me the same shudder as listening to those hillbillies who are masters in the art of non-singing. Are we clear now ? :-)
