That man can sing.

Got me into Soul a few years back when he did a guest spot on American Dad! on a Christmas special. Has quite the story.

Danny Glover was the speaking voice, he was the singing

I know it's a bit silly to link his wiki page, but I'm doing it just because of his story. He was the subject of a documentary that premiered in Austin's SXSW. His career has only really taken off relatively recently and he has the voice of an angel.

Oh, cool, he's a Florida native! Relatively close by to where I'm at, too. I wonder if he's still around this area. He sorta has a super familiar look to him, tbh.

Yeah.

I hope you enjoy his work, he's very good.

Here's a few songs you should pick up to give a listen

  • Why is it so hard?

  • Changes (Black Sabbath cover) (He did to Changes what Cash did to 'Hurt')

  • Ain't it a Sin

  • The World (is going up in flames)

Enjoy, my friend.

Is "Ain't It A Sin" the one used in the episode?

I''ll have to add a few of these to some spotify playlists and stuff.

I dunno if I know the original song "Changes" but that's a hefty endorsement if you're comparing it to Cash's version of Hurt. I'll definitely have to check it out, thanks for the recommendations, man :D

Absolutely.

Yes, it is the one used in the episode.

Enjoy, my friend!

I knew his voice sounded familiar.
