That's funny, I enjoyed the music because of the production (and talent), not in spite of it.
Ever heard Hasil Adkins' self-produced tapes that he made in a shack in the 1950s? Giving them big studio production values would have been totally inappropriate.
The thing about music is that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to how it should be produced. I'm not saying this singer should be compared to Hasil Adkins, or that he's a musical equivalent of Louis CK. I'm saying that you should look at what it is on its own merits.
All I got out of this was that he was taking the same approach as Louis CK by skipping all the complicated stuff and just selling as directly and simply as possible. Just because it's not on the same scale doesn't mean it's not in the same spirit.
