He has some good songs, but his voice sounds like a alley cat with a stomach full of garbage who won’t let you sleep. I know that it’s the point for some ppl, but I can’t stand it.
I love his music, voice included, but if you don’t like the voice please listen to the early stuff before he got so rough. I honestly like those records better. The Asylum Years album collects a bunch of the good ones. ETA - or Ol’55 I think has so many good ones, including the namesake song.
Off topic but I watched him play piano and sing on some late night show a long time ago and oh boy did he look like he was on heroin, nodding off.
How has no one mentioned Tom Waits.

The Heart of Saturday Night is like a more palatable gravely lounge singer.
He’s on key and in tune though, same as Dwight Yoakum. You may not like their voice, but they are excellent singers.
