How Caleb Followill uses that range
Fraying is the aesthetic: a strangled, raspy tenor with slurred Southern diction, where words melt into open vowel sounds and the edge of the voice always sounds about to tear. Power concentrates up to A4, delivered with a tight, cry-like compression; above that the voice releases into a soft, well-controlled falsetto around E5. Vibrato is narrow and fast when it appears. Copying the rasp first is backwards — the underlying line is smooth and supported, and the tearing quality comes from vowel shape and compression, not from real throat strain.
