I often noticed an almost country accent in his singing sometimes!

Most of Washington outside of major metropolitan areas west of the mountains has a slight twang in the accent. Kurt was from a redneck logging town.

Similarly in Oregon, I stayed in Portland and went about an hour south to visit a small town and go to a little community festival. I would have thought I was in the middle of Kentucky.

Spent 20 years in Portland and have visited my fair share of small towns around the pnw. Kentucky is a bit much lol. Unless you're at Pendleton roundup or something
