booming - loud, carries a long distance
deep - low in pitch, like one of the bass instruments of an orchestra
fruity - [no idea] [I've never heard a voice described this way.]
gravelly - creaking like the voice of someone quite elderly or someone with a very dry mouth and throat (possibly other meanings, but this is what I associate with "gravelly")

A deep voice (a smooth tonally baritone or bass voice)
A fruity voice (a deliberately lilting voice, not a flat monotone)

That comes from 'gravel', right? A voice like the sound of footsteps on gravel.

That's what I would presume, yes. The dictionary offers me no alternative.
