| From Jim's blog: "Please try & enjoy. BTW, re comments on my singing in JOKER, that , and this, are done in my REAL & NATURAL range, baritone. I HAD to sing a full octave higher on BAD FOR GOOD cause trax were cut for Meat Loaf. This is my "natural habitat" for song." I'm by far no expert on singing, but the vocals on "Surf's Up", "Lost Boys" and "Rock And Roll Dreams" are obviously higher than on the rest of all the other songs on the album. Would it really be possible for Jim to go two octaves higher than he usually sings him? I know my friend always whines about how she has enough trouble singing one octave higher than "her natual voice". About Rory Dodd, do you also believe that Jim is the singer on the demo of "A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" at Smeghead's site? > Indeed they sound so different. What is different is the > octave of the vocalization. Do you sing?
