Gary Stewart...as a "worse singer"?!
As a long-time fan of Gary's, I have to disagree. Though some of his songs were sung leaning heavily towards the styles of others ("Your Place or Mine" - definitely Jerry Lee Lewis, and "An Empty Glass" - definitely Ronnie Milsap), Gary had a powerful set of pipes, and he could sing on key. His hit song "Drinkin' Thing" was voted The
Best Country Song Of All Time by Country Song Roundup magazine back in the late '70s, and his hit song "You're Not The Woman (You Used To Be)" displays a vocal power and range that few of today's crop of bicep and bun-oriented "hat acts" could match.
Though most of his '80s and later stuff was rather lackluster and beset with an annoyingly evident vibrato and sometimes hoarse voice, Gary was arguably one of the best honky-tonk singers country music has ever seen.
IMHO, of course.
