Come on Matt, listen to Coming Home good and loud and tell me you don't here Perry's soul oozing out of that one!
Okay - this is possibly a controversial thought - but is JSS too contented and well-adjusted to communicate the deep pain and melancholy that made the Perry era so stirring to the spirit? Does JSS actually
feel as fucked up like Perry did when he sang? Or is he just a highly likeable bloke who can rock?
I know where you're coming from on this one, Perry's voice stirs the spirit like no one elses for sure. For me it is in the soul and passion of the delivery of the song, whatever emotion that happens to bring that out. Such as
After The Fall, there is one line (below) in that song that just drips of Perry's emotional delivery and I was kinda leery that JSS would be able to pull off that trade mark Perry delivery. I can't remember which UK concert it was from, but IMO he nailed it.
You meant more to me
Than I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness
And your sweet caress
I miss you now
That's why I love Still They Ride, not a ton of range in that one but IMO has to be the most passionately delivered song of their catalogue. Deen does a fabulous job on that one but I'd be curious to hear Jeff's version of it. Don't get me wrong you can deliver the rockers with a passionate gusto too and JSS or Perry have no problem there. Am I making any sense?
