Yeah, his voice is very different. I can't deny that I always loved that deep, rich, smooth voice of his younger self, but I also like the character in his voice now. There seems to be a vulnerability and honesty in it...it has character. I've always been more about his words anyway, which is why I never kicked up a fuss about albums like EOM (which I love, but got a lot of people going because it was a huge departure). For me, he's a poet first.
I just take it as it comes, always interested in hearing what the man has to say in his music, old voice, new voice? Don't care, just keep telling me stories Lightfoot.
That's my take, for what it's worth.
