This is what I hear too. I'm virtually positive that all those high notes are Kenny, while Stevie pretty much just stays in her...well..what Tower said.

All those high notes in the chorus (which is the melody) are Kenny Loggins.

Finally, Sleeping Angel, Free Falling, Battle of the Dragons, G&B, and Blue Lamp, and WICYF are amongst her best vocals ever.

You said it, sistah!!

That woman cannot not sing harmony. Remember Stevie and Lindsey working out Angel on the piano in the Tusk doc? Lindsey is like, "you sing this" (melody) and I sing the high part" and then she starts singing the harmony along with his harmony and then starts laughing because she knows she's just a big 'tard who naturally gravitates towards the harmony without even thinking about it. I love that part.

Does anybody else picture the Muppets Take Manhatten during the intro of Gold & Braid? Just me? M'kay then.

1. Twisted - Well things get off to a bad start. The released version with Lindsey is fantastic. The demo is TOTALLY lacking.

2. Long Distance Winner - This is the only B/N song that I have ever heard. I like it...especially the lyrics.

3. Thousand Days - Ehh...I skip it.

4. Battle Of The Dragon - Ehh...I skip it.

5. Gold - I was expecting to really like this song...but it just seems to be lacking that extra "something"

6. Free Fallin' - I love this song, but I'm not too crazy about Stevie's version. Almost seems monotone...

7. It's Late - LOVE this song. It almost has a blues feel to it.

8. Violet & Blue - I quite like this. It took me a few listens...

9. Whenever I Call You Friend - What a great song. Kenny and Stevie make a great team for this song...

10. Sweet Girl - This is one of my favorite Stevie songs...EVER! This is not too bad for a last minute demo, although the vocals aren't too stellar. But I much prefer the Fleetwood Mac version...I love the B-3 Organ and the three part harmonies.

11. Blue Lamp - Ehh...I skip it.

12. Gold & Braid - This has become one of my favorite Stevie songs...EVER!

13. Reconsider Me - I like.

14. Somebody Stand By Me - This is one of Sheryl's best songs...and although I don't mind Stevie's version. To me Faith Hill's version will always be the best...Faith's voice fits this song so well.

15. Sleeping Angel - I'm sorry guys...as much as I have listened to this...I just CAN'T get into it. It's not bad...It just doesn't "click" with me.

16. Rhiannon (Piano Version) - Awww...Nice idea Stevie. You know that part about you "sitting down at the piano"...please don't. You should have called Christine over and asked HER to sit down at the piano while you recorded a nice piano version of Rhiannon.

I cant deal with this? what's doing on here?

You did not just say this. How can you say Stevie can't sing harmony? How?
That TUSK thing was not evidence that she can't find the harmony. From what she says after that, she had worked out the melody differently in her head, and all - You know, when she's like "and I did not branch out at all, because I realized Lindsey would be singing a perfect two part harmony"
and plus, once she saw what Linds was doing, she snapped right into a beautiful harmony.
I can't believe you said that. Don't make me come "over there" Tracye!

She said 'cannot not'. Don't worry, I had to read twice also, cause I went WTF immediately.

You can laugh at Amber (the song), Annabelle Lee and Starshine all you like, there may well be better demos about, but at least they're different. I do not see the point in including Stevie's piano Rhiannon (most people don't seem to like this much) and Gold and WICYF when they have been released before. When i bought the Enchanted set five or six years ago, I would have rather had a 3rd disk of entirely new (to me) songs... even Starshine or Annabelle Lee. If I want an old song by Kenny bloody Loggins, I'll buy his album. Give me new material any day.

So would a lot of people, but "new to me" is different for everybody, as everybody has heard differing numbers of Stevie's songs.

Regardless, if you say you wanted "new" songs on Enchanted, I can't figure out why you're attacking disc 3 - the one third of the box set that did contain material that was probably new to most of people. Disc 3 does a great job of compiling a lot of Stevie's various "one offs." Yes, that includes two previously ubiquitous hit songs on which she was featured prominently, but that then makes disc 3 a great place to get those tracks without buying the full John Stewart or Kenny loggins albums if you just want the "featuring Stevie" tracks. And compare disc 3 to the other two discs, which feature almost no "new" material (three tracks between them, plus a handful of alternative mixes). Disc 3 is simply not where you should be directing these complaints.

whaaaa?
u dont skip blue lamp!

the intro is cool, and the end is great to sing to,

"And the light that shines through the shining night is a lamp that carry from my mothers home, And the light that burns through the window pain, And the love remains"

~~~~kezzie~~~~

Janis_no1 · #58 02-15-2006, 05:51 PM

Battle Of The Dragon and Blue Lamp are two of my favourite Stevie songs ever (obviously...considering my name

). There's an extended version of BL with a longer outro. I think it's just the "And the light that shines..." bit repeated more but it's great because it doesnt fade out as she sings that part.
