DDL found tapes of people from Kentucky & Illinois who were alive in Lincoln's time. The only way to describe that voice is a man from Kentucky who went to Illinois who had a curiously thin, reedy, high-pitched, well-practiced voice. In other words, Lincoln.

DDL's accent and speech patterns completely anchored you in Lincoln's time and place. Just magic. The best moment is when he starts an anecdote and everyone in the room is like "aw fuck, not this again."
