If the truth be told I'm actually a little nervous about Smile at You and the other two old songs (Running Through The Garden and The Tower.) I just worry that Stevie's limited range and her less powerful pipes will take away some of the best parts of these songs (as in modern performances of Dreams and Rhiannon). Especially the Tower - I really love that demo because it emphasizes the clarity of her voice and the extent of her range (very similar to the way Dreams demonstrates the very same aspects of her voice on Rumours), and now I'm afraid that since time has faded some those aspects of her singing, that the songs won't be as good. But then again there's always the possibility that she and Lindsey could put some new interesting spin on them, so we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully the outcome will be positive.
