I don't think unique is the word for it, but who knows, maybe i caught him on a bad night. At the Great High mountain show in Detroit recently, he sang Wayfaring Stranger, and was completely off key through the entire song. He also sang "Sitting On Top Of The World", and that was just as bad. I believe he may be a very talented musician and vocalist when it comes to rock music, but as far as bluegrass, country, or old timey ballads, he just don't cut it for me.

I am a lover of Bluegrass music but I also love many other forms including
Irish folk and modern rock, which is where Jack White "comes from". Jack White
is the founder, along with Meg White, of a modern rock band called The White
Stripes and he was a featured vocalist (oddly enough) on the Cold Mountain
Soundtrack. He sang Wayfaring Stranger very well, I thought, with Norman Blake on
guitar and did an EXCELLENT version of Great High Mountain which is more old
timey than bluegrass. However, many are not accepting of him. He also had a
small part in the movie as one of the musicians. Jack White very recently produced
Loretta Lynn's recent album called ...something...Rose. I think it is to his
credit that he trying to introduce Miss Loretta back to the younger
generations. But anyway, that is who Jack White is. And I think he has a very unique
voice.
