Keef's voice dropped 2 octaves around the same time his hair mysteriously curled. Or he sold his soul for half a lifetime of permed hair. Seriously, what's up with that?
: I was gonna post this as a polling question, but that's getting real played out the last couple of days. But, if you looked at Keith's lead vocals over the years, on what songs does he sound like a legit singer? And not a third rate Dylan knockoff. Obviously, he's done some great songs, but his voice wasn't carrying the song, or his bad vocals made the song better.
: My choices: Something Happened To Me Yesterday-Keith sounds damn good on this, he had an interesting voice, in a good way, in the 60s.
: Memory Motel-caught him on a good day here, IMO.
: Slipping Away-best song for Keith's present voice.
: It's kind of a shame that Keith let his voice go really, in the 60s up thru the very early 80s he had an unconventional, yet cool, kind of singing ability on lead and harmony vocals. It's painful now to hear him sing.
