I always think of guys like Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, and John Prine as singers who have a voice that fits their songs and style. They don't have the best voice, but maybe a really great singing voice wouldn't portray the mood or imagery that their voices help their song lyrics invoke.

Very good points.
My voice is OK for some things that I write, but when I write something sort of humorous, or tongue in cheek ( most of it), I need to find another singer who can pull it off.

Cash had by far the most potential in his voice than the rest in the group.
You don't hear very many low baritones/high basses that are in contemporary mainstream music today, Josh Turner comes to mind and he was the biggest country music star for a short time.
Cash didn't take voice lessons that could have strengthen his voice and bring out his full potential.
Bill Medley who has a similar voice type to Cash did admit to taking voice lessons and his voice is elite.

Absolutely. Their voices fit their songs, because the songs came from them. Townes is also in that category. Terry Allen would be one more.
