I've thought that about Toby and about a lot of artists that peaked (to me) 10 or 15 years ago like Melissa Etheridge and Mary Chapin Carpenter (not that I'm Feeling Lucky was a song of substance, but she had them). They don't seem to be writing as deeply as they once did. Then again, some find that to be true of IYD, when they compare it to Stevie's older songs.
