Are You Mine

I hate to be the Debbie Downer of this thread but I think Stevie and Billy's version of this song is horrible. It would be horrible even for a B side IMHO. Her voice is fried and it sounds like one of those RAL demos where she is not really trying or paying attention to the quality of singing or her music.
Please don't flame me
I love a country rock Stevie with Its late, Blue Denim, That's Alright, and After the glitter fades. But this song is weak vocally and musically. It would not even pass round #1 of American Idol

If the tape is still surviving .I love to hear that tape too in its completeness .Maybe she can put it on her next 24K album untouched.

I prefer the version sans Billy -- just Stevie with Sharon and Laurie. The frailty of her voice adds so much nuance to the song. It's just a demo; I wonder it was ever given serious consideration for an album.

Perhaps the Billy duet take was a possibility for the Behind the Mask album.
