I listened to a clip, I think it's a little creepy when his part comes in.

But then I didn't like his music much before he was dead, either.

I didn't think I should post this in alt.audio.pro.live-sound....

That's horrid in every way imaginable. Not only generally tasteless but
artistically. It makes Cher's "Believe" sound soulful and organic. I'm a
huge Conway fan. What a travesty.

All true,still it's another great reason to have Auto-Tune.

You mean the vinyl "preacher hair" he used to have? Then he went to the
perm. I'm serious though. You won't find a better singer or songwriter in
country than Conway.
