I personally don't mind people commenting on Gord's voice not being the same - as long as it is a statement of observation/fact and not a complaint - because the fact of the matter is, his voice has changed over the years. Some say for the better, but definitely not for the worse - it's just different.

There is another great singer/songwriter out there who I came to know voice wise later in his years. I had always loved his songwriting and had known him as such for many years until 2001 when I saw him for the first time in concert. He did an older song of his in that concert that I was unfamiliar with and fell in love with, so I picked up the re-release of the older album on CD that included his recording of it. I found that I much prefered the weathered, aged voice of the live concert than the voice of his prime. The singer/songwriter: Guy Clark; the song: "The Partner Nobody Chose"

All that to agree with everyone else that just because something has changed, doesn't mean that the change isn't just as good, if not better.
