i know nuts about singing and i've been wondering how do you get that rough voice when he sings songs like 'travelling band'?
 
Hmm.

There are several ways of doing it. However it must come to you neturally and not contrived or else the outcome will also sound unnatural and forced.

One way is to practise singing many songs which utilise that style of singing (listen to rolling stones, more CCR etc), so that eventually you're in that comfort zone and you need little effort to bring it out.

I do not suggest you screw up your voice to get that kind of sound... but as mentioned previously, with enough practise and patience you can achieve it.
 
Hi! :)

One of the tricks I believe is to exert air downwards at your diaphragm. That is literally to flex your lower abdominals..but not too hard or u might find urself crapping in your pants.

Another thing you need to do is to blow air lightly out of your mouth as you intonate..this would create a natural huskiness.. It comes naturally for some..but i've seen some ppl practice till they could do it naturally too..:)

Also, note that the air draft should come from the throat to the lower side of ur mouth..Hope u understand that..:P haha..concentrating this air draft will give u a more realistic husky tone..compared to jus literally blowing air out..

Lastly, its also at lower ranges easier to produce the husky tone by singing without opening ur mouth too big :P but that also means u sacrifice ur diction a little bit..:) but hey..with practice..you could still do it! :)

Hope this is of help..Experiment with the tips..hopefully, you'll get the idea and keep working at it! :) Thank you for reading my lengthy tip. ha!
 
okay guys, thanks! i think i uh..unds the stuff..yea.. so its just playing with the air blowing out?? not tightening the throat to growl?
 
haha..tighten your throat slightly..but not too much..u would strain ur voice..also when u tighten ur throat till u get the growling effect..its reli not so desirable for a male vocalist..:P its normally..female vocalists who growl..think..christina aguilera..haha..:)
