Negative Positive
Title: going through the motions...
Review: I had to respond after reading the last review. Who are you kidding? If anyone's phrasing and tempo have made in impossible to harmonize with it is Van's. Look, Van has been one of the most emotive and inspired singer/songwriters of the last 30 years, but recording duets with Van at this point in his career is simply a bad idea. The duets he did with his daughter on "Days Like This" had the same problems - two vocalists with different phrasing, intonation, and execution. It almosts hurts to listen to it. I love him dearly, and Linda's efforts are admirable, but I'll stick with Moondance and Astral Weeks.
Is the review positive or negative?
