I generally prefer Stevie's old demos to her albums. There's a purity to the sound that is lost, IMO, on the final tracks. In a way, Secret Love was a perfect choice because it's been largely forgotten. I'm really pleased with the way it came out, and think it works well with her new voice.
But, say, Julia? Possibly my favorite solo song off Stevie's ever. And as much as I would love to see it get attention, I don't think a new version could match to old demo.
