denis,
i have searched every chris cornell and a few soundgarden sites and find
no mention of his working with david kyle. so, i'm curious to know when he
worked with him and, of course, your source (sorry for the rhyme). i'm
wondering if his toning down of the use of his extreme high range is the
result of working with someone who has urged him to use a little caution or,
if it the work was done early.
in comparing cornell's singing on the 'temple of the dog' cd to geoff
tate's singing on 'eyes of a stranger' there is clearly a difference between
their treatment of the higher range. tate's approach sounds somewhat
cultivated where cornell's sounds pre-historic.
another thought here...clearly, there are some singers of this genre who
would, in classical judgment, be considered baritones. it seems that these
guys exhibit a lighter guage high range (except cornell) than the 'true
tenors' like steve perry. i exclude cornell from the previous as it seems
his singing is so primal.
