RE: Dreams.
I do kind of like the LIB one slightly better, but it doesn't sound so good on the CD for some reason.
I know a lot of people don't like her current renditions of Rhiannon, but I suppose I just have a thing for husky female vocals. It's like with Joni Mitchell. She used to have a really high, clear voice, but because of her smoking, her voice began to deepen to the point that she has now completely lost her ability to hit those high notes, and her voice is very husky and smoky. A lot of people can't stand it, but I prefer it. I find her late '60s/early '70s vocals unlistenable a lot of the times, because I can't tolerate those high notes very much.
Stevie used to be able to get her voice way up there (you can especially hear it on some of the old B/N demos), but I find it irritating. I'd much rather hear her now.
