Can anyone post some links to growling? I’d like to hear the differences in styles, intonations, etc.
I apologise for reviving a year-old thread. But I’m binge-watching the Ken Burns documentary on country music, and it features this 1958 performance by Wanda Jackson, who I was not really familiar with. She uses the technique described above, earlier than any of the singers I mentioned.
I think I’ve heard that technique referred to as “cornbread,” but I’m not able to find anything online to confirm it.
