She's an experimenter, though, and sometimes when she tries new things, it doesn't work. I can see what you mean about the voice. Some singers are amazingly talented but their voices don't appeal to everyone. I can't really take Emmylou Harris' voice, but I know well that it's fantastic. For some reason I personally don't like it and I have never been able to explain that.

Them's fightin' words.
I never gave Emmylou any attention until she released
Wrecking Ball ten years ago and then I became a convert. I have so much respect for artists who push themselves to create fresh and exciting music as they get older and she's genius to me. It's quite a task to find artists who create their best work more than twenty years after they started. The whole voice thing is understandable, though. Like Celine. I can't stand to hear her, but she is amazingly talented as a singer.
