Is it me or does Bruce’s voice in the early years particularly on the Way it is album sound deeper?
If you compare his voice to the other albums released subsequently I can tell a noticeable difference.
Perhaps it was more of a “Radio” voice? And more “Pop” on purpose when they mixed it and it came out that way?
Curious everyone’s take.
Bruce hates the sound of his old records… I always thought he meant solely the piano sound, but maybe he meant his voice also. Perhaps the change is deliberate?

Perhaps the change is deliberate?Bruce told us after a show while signing a bunch of albums for some ebay dealers that the Range doesn’t even play on the first couple albums that majority of those tracks were just Bruce playing to a drum machine and that the songs were pieced together in the studio. I don’t know though the band is credited on those albums and it sounds like a band but that’s what he was saying while signing them.
Ha.
He mentioned the same thing (see the Goon’s anecdote) at either the Keene show or the Rutland one; seemed like it was tied in to a complaint about “how come you don’t sound the same anymore.” “Play it like ‘The Range’ played it.” “I don’t like this improv bit” etc etc. That’s when he chuckled to the audience and referenced The Range — “People say they miss ‘The Range’ but the funny thing is that ‘The Range’ was mostly just me with a drum machine and an OBX” or some such. He’d have Marinelli do some overdubs, other people do some dubbage, but yeah…apparently BH gets a kick out of that particular artifice.
