I love singer's voices. Marcia Ball has one of the nicest speaking
voices. In fact, I think if I were forced to admit what it was I
actually do well, I would say record singer's voices, because I
understand them. I sort of take aural showers in them. Recording The
Willie was monumental for me because his voice goes to tape so
spectacularly.
I think that was one reason I loved Jimmy Day's steel so much- he played
the steel like a voice, singing.
