Demos Better Than Final Tracks?

The Tower contains Stevie's little girl like voice so sweet and tender and Goodbye Baby is an older woman desperately trying to sound like a sweet little girl. It just doesn't compare to the original.
I have always loved Stevie's demos over most of her released music. IMHO Stevie's best producer is Stevie herself. Even though I am the first to say I want her to ditch her slow songs and sing only fast rockers, I only feel this way when she has a band backing her. I would LOVE an album of just Stevie singing and playing the piano with Stevie overdubbing background vocals over her own. Even Sharon and Lori would have to sit this one out.
