Oh, come on. Lighten up, folks. It's not like this has never been discussed before. There has been a change. There's no denying that. He's even mentioned it.
Ken, the first time I heard APPT I was shocked. I had to pull over to the side of the road. I remember saying, "No way! No way! This isn't Gordon!"
It's probably a combination of many things, with change in style being right up there at the top. He sounds less trained, and more like a country singer.
Keep listening to the CD. It will grow on you. There are hints of young Gord in there.
