    Karen Carpenter once said, "The money's in the basement." She meant that her fans loved when she sang in her lower register. I always think of that when I hear you sing.

    • @stevepower1372
      @stevepower1372 2 года назад +19

      Agree. I love Mary's work, but have to admit the falsetto/head-voice grates on me a little... the lower register has a warmth and sometimes (to borrow a guitar term) an edge-of-breakup quality that is delightful. Nice cover though.

    Fantastic! It couldn’t be anything less with Spender and Shull. Shull has a sixth sense for finding the seam between ethereal and diatonic scale. Mary has a beautiful voice. On her guitar she played a perfect accompaniment to her vocal and Rhett’s lead lines. I’m very impressed that they accomplished this live.

    I love Mary's voice. The cadence of her singing catches me off guard in this. The sound of the SG that she is playing is perfect for this tune. Rhett's tone was quite bright and didn't quite sit right with the dark sound of Mary's guitar and her full and deep voice.
