Willie doesn't have a "big" voice, although it can be loud if he wants
to. he's a softspoken guy, and his singing voice is relatively subdued
also. Waylon comes very close to having a "great voice" but he's so much
himself that you could never mistake him for anybody else, no matter how
hard he tried, and I guess what I was trying to convey was that none of
these guys could ever sing anonymously like a typical "good singer" can.
