I'm not wild about SS's voice, but I wonder if that sort of drawling style she has is kind of related to her speaking voice? I heard her in one of SN's interviews around the time of the Wild Heart and she has a really strong Texas accent. I'm not crazy about it, though.

Then there's SN's vocal, which is really powerful. I think I often forget what a strong singer she is/was. It sort of punches right through the mix and makes SS sound flimsy in comparison.

Last of all is the thing that often makes me laugh about Stevie and her girlfriends, and that is that it's just so gay. And I know she's not gay, but they all seem so unaware of how it came over at that time. Or were they unaware? Either way, it's an odd duet for two women who aren't lovers to sing to each other, imho.

Not a bad song, tho. She was a decent writer, was Sandy.

Well they arent singing it to each other , doesnt the song mention a man (someones son someones man or something)
