Vocal character

Sam Canty (Treaty Oak Revival lead): distinctive Texas-accented gravelly baritone with raspy conversational verse delivery and chest-voice belted chorus peaks. Outlaw-country-rebel precision; multi-tracked harmonies on himself; red-dirt + Texas-country + outlaw-country hybrid precision channeling Waylon-Jennings + Cody-Jinks aesthetic.
