I was just thinking the same thing the other day. Maybe through all those years it was a little "You're here cos I saw so." message to Ms. Nicks. "Look, if I wanted to, I could make a virtual Stevie, and you wouldn't be needed. So STFU and do as your told." Naturally, I'm kidding. But it's funny to think about such instances.

Hold Me
There are several earlier songs that Stevie is either very faint in the mix or not at all (at least to my ear):
White Album: Over My Head...Single mix a little better World Turning...very minimal Rumours: Don't Stop....Not too audible, but there to a slight extent Songbird Tusk: Think About Me....Not too audible. Single version much better (unless it's Lindsey) Save Me A Place....I don't think she's on it. What Makes You Think You're The One....obviously not on it. Not That Funny....Obviously not on this song. That's Enough For Me.....Not on this song. |

Mirage: Can't Go Back....no Stevie Book of Love....no Stevie (or Christine) Only Over You....no Stevie Empire State.....no Stevie Hold Me....I personally don't think she's on it. Oh Diane....not on this song...Lindsey tweeked. Eyes of The World...again, don't think she's on it. Wish You Were Here....AGAIN...don't think she's on it. Tango: Big Love...Stevie not on this. Everywhere.....I HEAR STEVIE...my friend Bill says no way. Caroline.....Stevie not on this. Tango....Stevie no on this Mystified....I personally don't think Stevie is on this. Isn't It Midnight....I personally don't think she's on this. You and I (both versions)...don't think Stevie is on either. Behind the Mask: Do you Know.....MAYBE...not sure...

I thought Stevie was on Only Over You, Book of Love, and Wish You Were Here. I could be wrong. |

As does La Nicks' high harmony of Over My Head and her lead on Beautiful Child. Last edited by strandinthewind; 06-20-2009 at 08:49 AM.. |

Lindsey's use of the speed oscillator in the studio perhaps has a basis in his fondness for the vocals on old tracks from the 1950s & early '60s, when the doo-wop groups were big. Those groups frequently treated backup vocals at the extreme ends of the range spectrum for men: high alto & baritone, & even falsetto soprano.
Whenever I think about what Lindsey is trying to do on a record or why he is trying to do it, I remind myself of the musical styles from his younger years that he learned to simulate. On "Say You Will," I think Lindsey deliberately emphasizes Stevie's heavy nasality (no bottom end in her voice anymore) by flanging or phasing her lead vocal so frequently (like on "Everybody Finds Out" & "Illume" & "Destiny Rules"). As for why he does this, I don't know. I find the sound unpleasant, but maybe he really digs it. Of course, he phases his own vocals often enough, too, especially on his last two solo albums.

I think he's saying that Lindsey has been adding studio trickery and effects over Stevies voice that brings out a more nasal quality to it.

LB admitted in a long ago interview that he electronically manipulated his voice to sound like Stevie's on the "Book Of Love" intro, which certainly fooled me until I read that. But I don't hear her on "Only Over You" or "Wish You Were Here". |

Flanging & phasing are audio processing techniques that alter the peaks & troughs of sound waves. Stevie has a natural nasal quality to her singing & projection. In my last post, I suggested the idea that Lindsey uses processing techniques to compound that nasal quality in her. Here's a YouTube video of some audio processing of a vocal using Pro Tools.
