oh and the Farrar>everyone else is just a little statement to an occasional poster.

He's still better than everyone else but I really like the old deeper voice better. You can teach an old dog new tricks but old dogs still like the old tricks better.

so you proclaim to not like the current farrar, yet also claim that farrar > everyone else.

shouldn't the equation be: old farrar > new farrar > everyone else?

Brian H. tells us that Jay sings the way he does now because that's exactly how he wants to sound, not because his voice is losing it.

Whichever way he sings "Barstow" is the way I like it.

Low and smooth. Definitely low and smooth.

Jay's voice seems to have gone through three stages.

1. His UT voice, low and rough
2. His 90's Son Volt voice, low and smooth
3. His Solo and recent voice, High and smooth

Of course there are the transitions from each voice. These are found on the Anodyne and Sebastabol albums.

I personally prefer the low and smooth voice.

Apology accepted.

Does anyone think that the higher pitch in Jay's voice is a sign that he's starting to lose it a little? Or is that just the way he prefers to sing now. Personally, I like the way he sang during the Anodyne/Trace period a lot better. If this topic has already been gone over, I apologize in advance.
