Roscoe Holcomb was my avatar here for a long time until I guess the site hosting the picture must have expired or something. I'm a huge fan of his.I don't know if this is why you posted the pic but imo Jeff has a very similar vocal tone to Holcomb in that they both sing through their nose. It's been described as the "high lonesome sound." Karen Dalton also is someone who I think would fit into this category.
Yes! I'm guessing Jeff would be familiar with Holcomb. They both have this intense nasally vocal flavor seldom found outside of Appalachian/American folk. I'm a vocalist myself, and while their technique isn't exactly something you should emulate, especially if you're untrained, it leads to these grand emotional belts Jeff and NMH are known for.
