You gotta find a contract singer or work within your limits.  I really think if you just back off the volume\/intensity and go for a bit more gravelly &#8220;Alice Coopoer&#8221; delivery you&#8217;d pull it off well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Jimmy MichaelsSong: Eye Of The Mind (With John A.
