But you have to admit that it's rather jarring to hear one of his songs from the Rumours era and then hearing one of his songs from the last few years back-to-back. I would dare say it's even more jarring than hearing Stevie then vs. now. Yes, Lindsey never had a spectacular voice, but it used to have such a pleasing tenor-ish tone to it- almost androgynous in some ways. And it's one thing to have more limited range and a raspy/whispery delivery, but it's another thing to be completely off-key, which Lindsey is a lot these days. By contrast I think Stevie's pitch today is much better than it used to be, especially compared to those who-gives-two-fig-newtons vocals from the Kloponin era...
