If you like this then you will love the literary works of Kleist.

I see the genius. I can’t get past the voice.

I think you’ve got to look past that. It’s the same with cats like Walter Hyatt, Zevon, Tom W., or Leonard Cohen. They make those tunes their own, because they are. (And those four, IMHO, are the best songwriters in the last thirty years on this continent.) Y’all can chime in w/ other nominees, but those guys are (or were in Warren’s case) consistently special talents.
