Burl Ives Says Singing Is Easier Now Than Before
Hollywood legend Burl Ives says his voice is better and easier to sing today after years of practice. He discusses National Geographic's We Americans album selling four million copies, his Heidi TV role, and his view that folk music blends tradition with authentic ballad texture. He cites Barbara Allen as an old ballad and praises Woody Guthrie for true, modern expression.
