I love Prove Your Love. Her vocal is fine. I bet she is referring to her opening which few singers would dare to do unless you are Whitney Houston or something. However it works on the song because its so bluesy. It fits fine.
I can almost hear Stevie and Lindsey sing harmony on Come A Little Bit Closer. That would have been a killer remake. I think its a better song than Prove Your Love but Chris was on fire on Heroes Are Hard To Find. Come A Little Bit Closer is a very somber and heart breaking song but the upbeat tempo and synth strings take the song to another level and feel.
I can talk about Heroes Are Hard To Find all day. Its so brilliant in so many ways yet its probably the band's least acknowledged album. There are days I think its even better than Mystery To Me. I think there are better songs on Mystery To Me but Heroes is a better album. It covers the full spectrum of music: blues, rock, spooky song, heart break song, love song, and we even get a rare angry Chris song not to mention Bob's psychedelic "Coming Home." Its like a box of chocolates full of all the good stuff.
Chris was getting better at crafting her songs more pop like. I often wonder what if Bob Weston contributed how much better it could have been. Also imagine if Welch stayed around for the next album. Could Say You Love Me actually charted without Lindsey and Stevie. Chris was getting that good. Remember that the White Album pretty much already had Mac songs drafted and Buck/Nicks stuff rerecorded.
