Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies?


Am I the only person that thinks that Jeff Tweedy's singing voice is very similar to Ray Davies'? My wife disagrees with me so we haven't spoken in weeks.

Regardless of the Audiogon community "vote" you have already made me to laugh out loud this morning. Fortunately your disagreement wasn't on a more serious topic, we might be reading about you in the paper :^).
I'm a big fan of both of them, and I never really noticed a similarity. Certainly, they operate within the same limited range (which is not meant as a knock on them) but I would say that, besides the obvious difference - the accents - Ray's voice is much more silky smooth, where Jeff's is more gruff. Both use their instrument to great effect.

Now go talk to your wife.

Cheers.
