People move to Nashville from all over the country...from all over the world to be the next Garth or Dolly…and when they enter the city limits...it’s nothing short of a miracle.…they get a twang in their sangin voice.
Their country voice appears like magic.
And it’s a good thing. A little southern accent goes a long way when you’re making the type of music where people expect that accent.
Now I admit, it can be a little overdone, a little over the top. But there are plenty of things that we weren’t born with that we adopt and bend towards because of where we want to end up. Choose wisely.
»» I think the thing that many of us don’t like is when we are aware of the change…When the famous pop star decides to make a country album and suddenly this voice that we know and love changes dramatically…or when our friend from Pittsburgh moves to town and suddenly sounds like they grew up in Birmingham…it feels like it’s just for show and not real (there’s a ton of irony there :)
