Darby had a very average voice that rarely reached a high register. Jimmie Tarlton's the guy who is always howling in a beautiful falsetto while playing insane guitar. He's the real star of the group, and one of the most under-appreciated musicians of the 20th century. I have the Darby & Tarlton box set from Bear Family, and when you compare Darby's solo sides to Tarlton's, it's like comparing McDonald's to 5 star Italian cuisine!
