Don’t know why, but Lee’s voice always sounds off to me - like he’s flat, even when he technically isn’t. Maybe it’s just me. :-/
Lee’s got a gravelly quality in his voice. It’s not a pure tone but it’s not off key usually.

What he does is flatten his tone — if you picture singing a note and then compressing your throat a little to take the edge off of both the upper and lower parts of the note cycle.
It works for some songs since it provides a sense of control — the notes stay where they belong for the duration of the phrase.
But to some ears, it sounds like a truly flat pitch. It also runs the risk of tapering off and down at the end of each note.
Fla Voter — it sounds like you do this as more than a hobby. Do you agree with my analysis?
I think it's more of his shy personality coming through his singing. The kid has a fantastic voice, and when he finds out how to use it properly he will be awesome! I'm glad he plays and can probably write songs too. That's where the real talent is. This will work out to his advantage in the business.
With this kid I feel another Bad Co, Paul Rodgers coming on!
