A Vocal Resemblance

Although I've seen his name appear here and there for several years, I was officially "introduced" to Matthew Perryman Jones (shown at right) at a recent, local, benefit show. Having had a chance to hear him both live and on tape, I think there's a vocal resemblance between Jones and one of my favorite "vocaleers," Phil Wickham. Jones' tone is similar to Wickham's, but Jones lacks Wickham's vocal bravado -- just another example of the distinction I make between "singers" and "vocalists." Mind you, I enjoy the work of both artists. I simply felt the need to share my finding of similarity.
