Above is a nice tribute from Bill Murray to John Prine which includes a Hunters S. Thompson quote and Murray’s vocal impression of Thompson. Even when not imitating the famed gonzo journalist whom Murray portrayed in Where the Buffalo Roam, Bill Murray’s voice sounds a little unusual in this clip. A Chicago accent can be heard. It sounds like he might be speaking in his own voice or something like it. If the famed sketch comic and longtime actor Bill Murray has a casual voice of his own, this might be it. In the interview alongside Prine below, Murray orates at a timbre more like his soft performing voice because, for heaven’s sake, there’s an audience. The tribute above was done in 2017. The interview below, 2018. Chicago folk legend, John Prine, passed away on April 7 of this year of complications from COVID-19.
