Voices in the Vernacular Style.

The first verse of Raglan Road is becoming commonplace now, trite even. And yet every night when I hear Luke Kelly singing it, the freshness returns almost unabated.

I suppose that’s why he’s highly regarded as a ballad singer in the vernacular style.

The Woman in America has an appealing voice in the vernacular style. I've heard her sing. Just saying.
