When played at a normal speed, it sound much higher then it really was. Compare a live "Never Going Back Again" to the "Rumours" version. Listen to how much higher the guitar sounds. BTW, Lindsey openly admits to using this technique.

Wasn't there an article somewhere that listed the songs on Tusk that were basically all Lindsey?

I think it really does kinda come down to personal preference. Maybe that's the way the songs sounded best to Lindsey, as producer? Personally, I don't really like when Christine backs up Stevie, like in Rhiannon. I don't know if it's because Christine's voice is too strong compared to Stevie's in this one, maybe? But I do enjoy Christine and Lindsey's voices together, either way. And I think Stevie is a great backup singer. Like someone said, she can wrap her voice around Lindsey's. And in my opinion, she does that with all the duets I've heard her on. If she hadn't made it on her own, she coulda been a great backup singer!... although I'm sure she wouldn't have settled for that. all or nothing. lol.
