Title: What Happened to Natalie's Voice?
Product review: What is Natalie trying to prove now? I've got just about all her albums...great stuff...and love the few times I've seen her "live" on television...but what is wrong with her voice? I've listened to this album several times over the years I've had it here, and just keep thinking that she sounds like someone who was advised to smoke a lot of cheap cigars, in an effort to lower or deepen her voice...and possibly a daily ration of scotch to go with that. She sounds tired, gray, and as if someone has slowed down the record...like someone trudging through a foggy day. I suppose it could be that her overflowing social conscience has her thinking she's a woman of color now, and she's trying to emulate the sound of a black woman blues singer...I don't know...but it's sad.
