Midnight Wind
 
I don't know how many people are familiar with this song, but I keep coming back to this song when I think about Stevie's vocals. She is not singing lead, but her vocals make the song. To me, this is Stevie in all her glory and it's much more powerful than their other collaboration Gold. HER VOCAL IS STELLAR.

She sounds beautiful. Haunting, wispy. Stole that song from John.

Miranda.

And, beautiful production, if I may say so.

You can get the LIVE version from itunes. and she sounds great on it too. This song is a defining song for Stevie in my opinion, when it comes to vocals.

Also, though it's campy and rather tongue-in-cheek sexy (kind of like Ricky is), I think her appearance on Egan's Tunnel of Love is rather good.

Along with her vocals on Devil Wind by Bob Welch. Love that song!

Love this song. Stevie said in an interview that the image on the back cover of the album, an arched door, was taken in her house, and in fact the door was on the room that became Sharon's room when she moved in with Stevie. Trivia.:nod:

it's haunting, she just wraps her vocals around his and sorta takes over.

This is a definite treasure and one of her best vocals, almost better than the way her voice carries the Chain. Midnight and Devil Wind, Gold, Magnet & Steel up to the more "recent" Desiree, Stevie was on fire with these songs.

Agreed. Even tho her vocals on that track aren't as prominent as they are on midnight wind

No, but the end of the song gives me chills.

Yes where?
I've been searching for a live version of this and "Whenever i call you friend" forever!

Anyway i've been listening to Bombs away dream babies a lot this year (it's my sister's favorite album, i bought a 50$ CD of this for her birthday...), and i am now sure 'Midnight wind' is the best song. "Come on down!"

The live version of this song is on Airdream Believer album by John Stewart. It's slower.
