[kj] Jaz Coleman Among Top Singers

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Yeah, Johnny Cash really was the shit. Not just trendy stuff. That he 
did multiple songs Glenn Danzig wrote for him is kinda remarkable. And 
he did that before he did the covers albums of popular songs right 
before he died.

And also that Orbison did songs Danzig wrote for him -- kinda cool. The 
Samhain (Danzig) song "Archangel" was written for Dave Vanian/The Damned 
to sing, but they never did it, for whatever reason. Danzig was a big 
fan of Orbison, Cash, and Dave Vanian as vocalists.

I think the "Samhain" LP (actually it's members of Danzig) _Final 
Descent_ is amazing, vocally.
