How does Lucas’ singing style compare to the black deacon’s vocal style in “Amazing Grace?”
What will be an ideal response?
• The vocal styles are very similar, marked by a:
• Coarse, raspy, decorated melody
• Sliding between tones—purposefully "out of tune" on 3rd, 5th, and 7th scale degrees (blue notes)
• Free approach to meter
• Very expressive delivery
• Call-and-response pattern (in "Poor Boy Blues" between voice and the guitar)
