I agree.

I also think that in the early days (not so much now) La Nicks could make her voice sound like LB's voice. For years, I wondered who was singing the "YEA" in one of the final choruses of "Say You Love Me."

When I watch those Bella Donna sessions on La Nicks' last issue - I literally get chills listening to her seemingly effortless and soaring vocals then. I think she can still do that for the most part (see Circle Dance and R&R) - but she doesn't really try on the older stuff life Rhiannon and SDMHA (which is sung from the gutter) - which pisses me off.

I think LB on the other hand is just a balls out kind of singer. And, since he was never really known for his voice, it does not matter as much that he bends keys, etc.

I wonder if singing with Crow will get them on their toes vocally. Crow does not have the best voice, but she has relative youth and is, from what I see, a trained vocalist as opposed to the innate vocal nature of LB and La Nicks.
