"No matter how many different styles he goes through, there's always going to be that signature Buckingham sound behind it, so even a radical departure is still going to sound Lindsey-ish.
Laura."
Thank God for that. We want the songs to still sound Lindsey-ish, but we're looking at taking a radical approach to the songs. So, yes, we would have to forgo the texture in the studio recordings. The production is essential with Lindsey's songs. Or is it? Again, I have to go back to Go Insane, Big Love, the acoustic version of Countdown, and Lindsey's take on Here Comes the Sun.
I have no doubt he could rework all these songs and make them sound great live.
Also, I am remiss for having left out "Shuffle Riff" (or whatever the real name of the song is) in my original post. Now there's a song that would sound absolutely killer in a trio setting. Essential blues with a kick-ass riff.
