Good songwriters seem to be in short supply these days
Similar could be said for The Beatles. Amazing songwriters; mediocre singers.

X-Lax Would Have Crossed out His Career
Bobby Dilly always sings like someone sitting on a toilet and struggling with constipation.

Some of his best songs are >>
1. They are not like the songs of any other songwriter/singer. They are a genre all of their own.
2. The songs are all very different from one another.
3. Many of the songs are poems in a surrealist style, and thus very difficult to understand what he's talking about. Strangely over the course of 60 years, I have slowly come to understand the lyrics, that first time listeners rarely do.
It may seem pointless at first, but over time, it is worthwhile to be able to focus in on the art of the greatest poet/songwriter of the past 200 years, if not longer than that.
- Like a Rolling Stone
- It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleedin")
- Blowin' in the Wind
- Mr Tambourine Man - (LSD)
- It's a Hard Rains A Gonna Fall
- The Times They Are a Changing
- Chimes of Freedom
- With God on Our Side (relevant to 1964)
- Gotta Serve Somebody
- Only a Pawn in Their Game

I agree, and his voice seems to vary with the particular song he's doing. In many songs, his voice sounds fine, & is a perfect match for the type of song that it is. I cant imagine anyone doing it better.
