While musically appealing, I find this particular rendition too pop-y and dismissive of the fatalism of duty and surrender to circumstance. Tenessee is thus far the only rendition that truly captutes how dark yet resolute, this narrative's unfolding should be borne. One of iron and one of steel in particular, in this rendition comes across like they might as well have said burger and milkshake. Their actual voices are wonderfully lustrous, but they fundamentally do not understand the emotion of "owe my soul to the company store". To me personally, it sounds like a jazz remix by white people that do not understand the struggle that gave rise to jazz.

He has a video where he teaches and demonstrates how he gets low. It's essentially a vocal technique that's used in metal. Find your Vocal Fry and then add a bit of voice to it. Practice with the "O" sound and get the right tone to it. Once you sing that in a microphone, it amplifies it to the point of sounding gravely and shaky. kzread.info/dash/bejne/in-Aw7uAeK3VerA.html

All the actual video production and editing is done by Geoff himself 🙂 and as others have said, there are no subharmonics in this song, the melody is all full voice 😊 Geoff confirmed it either in the comments of "Sixteen Tons" or in the live chat before the premiere, I can't remember. As far as the instruments, I believe he's using his keyboard and plug-ins. I don't believe any of his solo work so far has been a capella 🙂 If you turn on the captions, he confirms that he did a "super dramatic bend to F#1" at the end 😉 I really love your reactions and in-depth analysis, VoicePlay (and Geoff obviously) are my absolute favorite musicians, and it's so nice to see them get the recognition they deserve 💗

It's not sub, it's just a mix. Like fried-chest and chest-fry. It depends of the notes we're talking about, but the "thick" G# we can hear is fried. I can get the same type of tone with that technique. If you boost the bass and let drop the high, you get the same sound too. Last point : honestly it doesn't matter. Sub, pure chest, mix, growl.. I don't care. If it sounds beautiful, that's matters to me. And when Geoff sings, it makes me feel a lot of things! And I know that I'm not the only one!

@@TheCharismaticVoice You're definitely my favorite music reactor just because you put so much analysis and detail into your work. Too many reactors feel like I'm just watching the original video with a friend who likes to mutter a lot. I love it when you pause and go into depth about something.

My mom fell in love with my dad the moment she heard his voice booming from the back of the auditorium at the university. Dad loved singing Eastern Orthodox liturgy which requires such super-deep bass voices. His voice was sought by conductors and he sometimes was a member of two or three choirs at the same time. He sang in church (and I joined him a couple of times as I can read music from a sheet), but also traveled around the world, cut records, sang on stage in opera choruses, etc. Of course, over the decades of singing he made friends. The guys in his choir section - with equally incredibly deep voices - were his lifelong best friends. So, every now and then they'd come for dinner. After they ate, they'd each pick up one of my 3-4 guitars and start singing. Songs like "Go down Moses", "Long White Robe" and "Born under the Wandering Star" and yes, "Sixteen tons". The whole house was booming and shaking (and that was a 64-appartments building) and all the neighbors could feel it if not hear it. My voice is deep, but not like his. Also, unlike my Dad, I never studied how to sing properly (perhaps I can watch Geoff's videos on techniques of singing deep). I was, for many years, invited to all the parties to bring my guitar and sing. But how I wish I could sing the way he could. He died in 2003, and mom died last month (her 89 birthday would have been tomorrow). So these songs make me sad and nostalgic....

She sang about 6 songs then she broke out into sixteen tons in a very very low register. The room was shocked when her voice dropped down to those low notes. After the song ended she acknowledged the fact that she wasn’t as womanly as she appeared. I love San Fran....

You were surprised he could sing "high", but if you view his KZread video in which he shares tips for singing "super, super low", he states he's actually a natural baritone. The very low range has come to him with only a massive amount of work. He said he's more comfortable in the baritone range. Enjoyed your perspectives on this cover and thanks for your analysis!

But then over time his "voice" grew stronger and learned to handle it like any muscle. So some of the pitches and changes .. he has repeatedly trained his voice to be able to handle those moves.

@ 15:50 Workers were paid in coins that were for the companys store, workers and their families essentially didn't have to leave the mining camp.

15:18 - An added reason that I've heard about "another day older and deeper in debt" and "owing my soul to the company store" is that the miner would come home after his shift and tell the wife he had mined 16 tons, but after the company washed and processed it, there might only be 14 tons of coal and two tons of rock. Meanwhile, the wife had done her best to stay within budget at the company store with the 16 tons of credit, not realizing she only had 14 tons of credit.

Geoff's voice is just out of this world! He is constantly perfecting it and making it sound easy! Takes lots of dedication! He confirmed that there are no subharmonics in this song, it's all his amazing, mesmerizing chest voice! I love your videos, the way you 'have to' go back and play it again, because you can't believe your ears! But it's all real. There's only one Geoff! I wish you could interview him, like you did with Layne. That would be awesome! All his solo work is great! The Headless Horseman, Take Me Home Country Roads, Mele Kalikimaka, Blackbird, High and Dry, the Bare Necessities. Please review them all, you won't regret it! Keep your giggling going!!

Guys, take the time out to watch and listen to Elizabeth singing, wow. Certainly lends credence to her reactions to others songs. Lovely voice and lovely lady to boot.

Totally amazing, thank you for introducing me to Geoff!

I loved how some of the notes/sequences seemed to break her brain...and bewilderment on her face. Adorable.

Ohhhh boy. The headphones will be *shaking* Monday morning! My chest hair doubled just listening to the original video. That deep TUUHNS just makes me giggle. Awesomesauce.

My chest hairs could double, and I’d still probably have less than some women!

@@DennisKovacich Join the club, Dennis. Here, try this Bath and Body Works Sun Ripened Raspberry Shower Gel. One of the best scents out there, and soooo smooth.

I love how clear the "Cuz I can't go" is at the end after he holds that low note. So deep and clear lyrics.

I agree with you. The first time I saw his video I was stunned at how deep he went with his voice and I had to repeat it a few times just to be sure I wasn’t imagining what I heard! Pretty impressive!

Thank you so much for the reaction! Loved your giddiness and the shocked faces you made. There's only one Geoff Castelucci and he's out of this world.

This is all chest voice, which is INSANE, hes so good! Great reaction

I just love Geoff's voice. I could listen to him all day long. 💜 And I loooove sixteen tons. My dad used to play it on piano. 💜

SO glad to see you react to this one! You absolutely must listen to Blackbird by him as well!

Yeah, his version of Blackbird is simply perfection! Goosebumps the whole time!

I love watching your reactions. Reminds me of watching a kid in a candy store for the first time...all the excitement and how animated you get. Its so refreshing to see. To me it seems to really influence your explanations and how you want to share that excitement and have the viewer experience it as well. You are one awesome woman.

This song is, in many ways, like a blues song. The lyrics are dark and seem hopeless, but that's not the message. The blues are about smiling even in the hard times, and getting through them.

Having been down first a Voiceplay rabbit hole, and now a Charismatic Voice rabbit hole, I have to leave a comment. You are adding another layer to already incredible performances, and even making your vast knowledge understandable to complete novices like myself. Thank you very much for a remarkable effort.

Your "innocent joy" in listening to music/sounds just makes you utterly adorable 😇. You would keep any man in your life youthful by just being the one you are 😊. Watching your videos is a treat ⚘

Great reaction! Loved that you did so much research on the song. His version of Headless Horseman and Take Me Home Country Roads are superb!

I love that your reaction to the deepest tones mirrored my own jaw drop!! This guy!!

This is the ultimate bass song I think-- since I received my baritone voice at 11 whenever I've woken up with allergies I've always sung this song just because it's fun to be able to sing, to feel it rattling your body and all the furniture around you...

Elizabeth, you really need to review Geoff's version of the Beatles's Blackbird. This is a must to see (hear!) the full range and beauty of Geoff's voice! Thanks for the great content!

I love Geoff's solo stuff. If you want to see him really show off his range, check out his cover of "Blackbird" by The Beatles. Also, his recent cover of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is phenomenal.

Blackbird was my favorite of his solo work before he put this one out. So phenomenal.

Your pure love of music, of all kinds, and how you react to it is amazing to watch. Jumping onto the piano and figuring out the key changes was so very cool to watch.

You’re absolutely going to love this version! Can’t wait till tomorrow.

the reason i love Geoff, the man is a consummate professional. and imminently talented. he spends practically all of his time working on increasing his range, and then creating amazing works that we get to be amazed by. and his channel is amazing, he genuinely loves his work and loves to talk about the details, how he does it and what he is doing, and how he trains.

amazing! quadruplets! - and they all can sing!

The goosebumps are real. ❤️

Such a great job...love this channel. So proud of all your hard work for the arts!!!

Elizabeth enjoys her work. As do we 😁👍🍻

Geoff's voice is amazing...and such a delight to watch, too!

This is one of those songs that if you never heard the song you still know where the song is going musically. Thats a sign of brilliance.

I do DJ gigs and played this at an event and people just freaked out. Love this guy and his videos are excellent.

Great pick, Elizabeth! Get ready for some goosebumps!

That G1 may be my favorite note from him ever. It’s powerful and full in spite of it being so low.

I thought it was an F#1. Either way. Ridiculous.

Avi also does sub harmonics. This singer has incredible rich bass vocal tones.

Her face at 16:55 is priceless- so intrigued and confused. She’s so silly about Geoff’s voice, it’s always a joy to watch her react to his stuff. Thank you Miss Elizabeth!
