All he needs to do is lower the key to the songs and stop trying to sing in registers that he no longer can reach. Just bring them down a full step and I'll bet you he'd sound a heck of a lot better.
This has been discussed before and at the time I thought it might cause problems for the band. Others disagreed. Borrowing from CHar's interview, Lightfoot said :

"And as far as playing the music, we love playing the music, the keys are weird but we don’t care!"

So, the question is : Would it be wise to make weird even weirder, since they've been doing it a certain way for so long ?
[/QUOTE]These guys are professionals. To lower the key would be like tying shoelaces.
