Big Sandy has a totally unique and beautiful voice - and he can stay in tune! Can't say that for most alt-country acts. More great country singers of recent years: Dale Watson! Marti Brom! Sonny George! I just went to the tribute show for Johnny Paycheck last Wednesday in San Francisco. And there were 3 singers there that proved they could do justice to the late Mr. Paycheck's tunes: Dave Alvin, Dave Gonzales (of the Paladins), and Johnny Dilks.
