The harmonies and arrangements are much more interesting with Christine's bluesy funky riffs and it informs the complete catalog and landscape.

Amusingly, 'buffer' was the exact word Stevie used back in 2009 when they were touring and she said they DIDN'T need one.

"As far as having another girl in the band, after we (talked with Crow) we really realized that there wasn't going to be another woman to come in this band that was going to fix our problems. I was looking at it three years ago as a buffer between me and Lindsey. And Lindsey and I don't need a buffer, because certainly Sheryl Crow and not any other woman in this world (is) going to be able to get in the middle of Lindsey and me. So the fact is, is that if Lindsey and I can't work out our problems by ourselves, we might as well throw in the towel. So that's what we are currently trying to do, is work out our own problems."
