Milestones Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 His actual singing voice? I find it interesting and effective--and in fact preferable to some of the singers he used in his later years. I know of only two vocals: "Wayfaring Stranger" and "Shenandoah." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameen is the only one of those players I haven't heard outside of CT. I quite like them all on their own, as well as in the Taylor orbit. Malik is a musician who mined a narrow seam but did it with brilliance and commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 (edited) yep. Buell also had his own bands which were quite interesting, well into the 1990s and early 00s. Beautiful sound on the bass and very creative, not to mention a fascinating raconteur. Denis Charles reemerged in the loft era and was very active until his death in 1998. Certainly his personal problems created inconsistency but when he was on fire he was definitely on fire. There are numerous recordings that bear this out.
