Ken,
No, you definitely weren't imagining the change in voice. Lightfoot had what I consider the best voice of all time (at least to me). I gotta tell ya though, I truly love his voice on Painter. It's thinner, but when you hear it, man you know it's Lightfoot.
His voice is thinner yet on Harmony but don't let that stop you from enjoying it. It has some fantastic writing on it and considering how and when it was released, makes it all the more special.
I understand what your getting at about voices not deteriorating with age, but in the case, for whatever reason, it did.
