Sang it yourself Eddie! You don't need no punk stepping on your creativity -- wanting to change things up and screw with your work.

If you want that hick style go get it! What one man can sang another can sang. You can learn in... just gotta let go of the inhibition to do it because you think you sound wrong. Screw what people expect in Cleveland and sang like a hick!

A few months ago Dan (Shockwave) posted a series of videos on recording in BIAB

He's got a pretty Midwest accent but carries hick in the song wit no problem. You can do that.

I've heard worse voices (mine for example) who sing for people all the time.

Get the pop filter $20 (or a nice pair of stocking hose from Loehmanns if your so inclined).

Also it sounds like you are restraining your voice a bit. I had a bud who did that because he was recording with a condenser and his voice was far to hard for that so he sang in a restrained manner. He bought a good dynamic and started singing loud a proud... made a the difference I tell ya. Perhaps and a good dynamic mic a belt it!
