I've often thought the same thing. I also think Joni's earliest voice
(STAS and before) sounds older and more old-fashioned than her voice on
subsequent records. I wonder if she deliberately changed her style to make
it sound younger and more contemporary. I like the STAS voice much better
than the LOTC voice, myself, although by the time she got to Blue, I like
that voice, too.
