Joe Henry immediately comes to mind (from SHORT MAN'S ROOM to TRAMPOLINE,
and he just keeps evolving), as do Guided By Voices (there's a pretty big
stylistic -- and production -- leap between the lo-fi 45-second gems of BEE
THOUSAND and the Ocasek-produced arena rock stylings of DO THE COLLAPSE).
Jeff Tweedy's musical path took a weird turn away from "New Madrid" and "Box
Full Of Letters" to YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT. The sound of early Whiskeytown is
nowhere to be found in Ryan Adams' LLOR'n'KCOR, released today. Neil Young
has always been all over the stylistic map, and piano-ballad Elvis Costello
is a far cry from "Radio Radio" Elvis Costello.
I just realized, that with the probably exclusing of Ryan Adams, everything
else I listed is identifiable solely by the singer's voice, as all are
rather distinctive.
