Earl Zero is, without a doubt, one of my all time favorite roots singers.  Like Don Carlos, his voice is the definition of roots to me.  He has the ability to thread his voice through a track in a way so that it sounds as if it is just another instrument, almost getting lost in the mix.  His songs are tapestries which tell a story.
As I told a recent commenter, its hard for me to describe what I’m hearing, but his vocal threads through a song instead of sitting on top of the instruments
Here is a selection of some of my favorites…
