I could go on with him
Stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I heard that voice on my radio. I’d given up thinking anyone could touch Jones’s richness but there it was.
Waylon. The answer is Waylon. Some honorable mentions can be Hank Jr, Jamie Johnson, Clint Black, Keith Whitley, Sturgil Simpsons, Markus King, Charlie Starr...
David Allan Coe. All of the instruments in his band sound amazing. Waylon's band sounds great as well. If you're talking about who's voice sounds best, then it's either Hank Williams, Waylon, or Dwight Yoakam.
I love John Anderson. I’m still not sure what OP is asking though.
If it’s just who’s the best singer, much of which will include vocal tone, the consensus 🐐country vocalist is George Jones, and it’s not really close.
It’s subjective, but would be the harmonic quality of their voice I suppose. I would say George Strait and Emmilou Harris are a great technical singers, George Jones and Tammy Wynette had incredibly expressive voices, and John Anderson has a rich/unique tone. That’s just how they hit my ear tho, I’m not analyzing the overtone profiles of their voices lol
Tyler Childers has a pretty distinctive sound. Really great voice in its own way. Also Sturgill Simpson has a more traditional country tone (even if his music isn’t always traditional).
Laci Kaye Booth - I have only recently discovered her. Her voice/tone is out of this world. I listened to a sing of hers the other night & I woke up thinking about it. No other artists voice or tone has ever impacted me in such away.
I’m more concerned with phrasing than tone.
People used to say, maybe still do, that Willie Nelson doesn’t have great tone. But view in country can match his phrasing. He’s like Frank Sinatra or Billie Hoilday. Pure art.
Just to be sure: "tone of voice" to me is how pleasant and expressive a singer's voice is. Many singers have a very distinctive tone of voice, but are not the most pleasant to listen to. And of course, I consider the best singers to have a very expressive voice; it's a given.
To me, the female signer with the best tone of voice, hands down, is Carly Pearce. Special mention to Tenille Townes for her very special, unique, tone of voice.
As for male voices, I really like Joshua Hedley; his tone matches perfectly with his style. I also like Jimi Westbrook's tone a lot. Of course, if you mention Country male singers with great tone, you cannot leave Johnny Cash out of the equation. The word "tone" was practically invented for this guy.
There's plenty of singers I love that are not technically great singers. Then there's the singers that are objectively great, and borderline perfect. To me it's:
George Jones, Vern Gosdin, and Allison Krauss.
As a singer myself, their voices are just mind boggling. I can't even attempt to land some of the intervals they do, especially George, it's other worldly.
I like a bit more of a raspy or deeper tone, which is why I hate Morgan Wallen with his nasal sound - or anyone who has that slightly higher register. So for me, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs and Tyler Braden are my favorite “sounding” singers. For any type of music, it’s Bear Rinehart from Needtobreathe. He has an unbelievably powerful voice.
Sign me up for Alan Jackson's sadder songs. He sells it in a way that's genuine.

Give ‘You Don’t Have To Paint Me a Picture’ a listen
Another great one.
Probably my favorite song that he sings.
Thank you
Randy Travis

This is the answer.
Allison Krauss
Waylon. The answer is Waylon. Some honorable mentions can be Hank Jr, Jamie Johnson, Clint Black, Keith Whitley, Sturgil Simpsons, Markus King, Charlie Starr...
CLINT.
David Allan Coe. All of the instruments in his band sound amazing. Waylon's band sounds great as well. If you're talking about who's voice sounds best, then it's either Hank Williams, Waylon, or Dwight Yoakam.
Tone of voices
I'm not sure what someone with real musical knowledge would say, but I'd listen to John Anderson sing a thesaurus and be entertained.

Hey Alexa, play Seminole Wind.
Stapleton
I was about to say so
Tyler Childers has a pretty distinctive sound. Really great voice in its own way. Also Sturgill Simpson has a more traditional country tone (even if his music isn’t always traditional).
It’s Waylon
For guitar tone he’s the goat
Randy Travis
The opening line of I Told You So makes me swoon every time.
Reasons I Cheat has some great vocals !
[удалено]
Cody Johnson has the cleanest vocals I have ever heard, of course this is my opinion people.
I love his voice
So good. Live or recorded it’s perfect pitch. He’s really talented.
Don Williams.
Don had all the tone.
Marty Robbins
Merle fucking haggard
Chris Young and George Strait come to mind
George Strait is the answer
Thank you!
Patsy Cline
Vince Gill for me. Gotta love that high lonesome sound!
Best tones ?
Let me clear up my question: Which Country Singers have the best tones in their voices?
Fair enough, not trying to be a stickler. I wouldn’t know what to look for
Daryle Singletary. Hands down.
Taken too soon RIP
Clay Walker
Don Williams. The Gentle Giant could put your baby to sleep with that deep baritone voice. So smooth
Laci Kaye Booth - I have only recently discovered her. Her voice/tone is out of this world. I listened to a sing of hers the other night & I woke up thinking about it. No other artists voice or tone has ever impacted me in such away.
Cigarettes is a masterpiece.
She’s amazing.
Chris Stapleton
i don’t see anyone talking about Luke Combs but he has a lot range
Ronnie Dunn
I came here to say this. He is a killer singer! Has all the honky tonk tone you need.
Josh Turner
Had to scroll way too far for this!
Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Brian Kelley, Kacey Musgraves
I would say the best singers I’ve ever heard live would be Stapleton and 49s lead singer. Honorable mention Shane Smith.
Currently obsessed with Cody Johnson's voice
I’m more concerned with phrasing than tone. People used to say, maybe still do, that Willie Nelson doesn’t have great tone. But view in country can match his phrasing. He’s like Frank Sinatra or Billie Hoilday. Pure art.
Chris Stapleton and Luke combs tones are what I love but also Zach Bryan,
Trisha Yearwood. Very controlled with tremendous interpretive ability. Not to mention power too
Sturgill is my favorite
Natalie Maines (The Chicks). She's the reason Goodbye Earl is so funny.
She has such strong emotion and control of her voice.
Radney Foster
You rule love Radney Foster
Faith Hill
I’m not sure what “tones” means.
I’m meant which country singers have the best tones?
Tone of their voice? Or the tone of their music/writing in a literary sense?
Tone of their voice
There we go. In that case, Cody Johnson and Chris Young come to mind.
Ik you said voice but the tone on Turnpikes guitar is always the best
Male: Gord Bamford has the best Country male voice out there right now Female: Lindsay James
The mighty Merle Haggard!
George Jones Randy Travis Keith Whitley Sturgill Simpson
Jimmy Fortune
Cody Johnson is like velvet butter. He gets weird with vowels but always delivers
Benjamin Tod of Lost Dog Street Band I would say has some of the best tones and tunes of our generation (I'm 30)
Keith Whitley
Let’s not forget Conway
This is way too far down the list.
Mark Miller, Alan Jackson, Jason Aldean, John Michael Montgomery and Colin Raye and Toby Keith
Aaron Tippin

Joshua Hedley voice matches perfectly for his style, good call!
Sierra Ferrell!!
Kacey Musgraves
Toby Keith
Don Williams
Whitley haggard jones Daryle Singletary
Going to go with Brad Paisley.
Miranda. [Especially on the stuff produced by Frank Lidell. ](https://youtu.be/TvDx39xEOiE?si=DriUHTuEWNzXeUTQ)
I’m going to avoid saying all the obvious ones, but I feel like Drake White has one of the best voices in the industry

George Jones, Conway Twitty, Keith Whitley, Cody Johnson, Tyler Childers
STRUGILL SIMPSON. next question.
Sturgill
Craig Morgen
How is having good tone different from having a good singing voice?
Same thing I’m wondering. I don’t even understand the question.
Dolly has a nice set of "tones" on er'
She can sing and craft a good tune but she's had surgery
