I can see that. I also keep hearing a bit of Johnette Napolitano in the vocals. Only she's awesome and this...not so much. But not bad, either.

I really like this song/group.  Surprised at the low rating, so I gave it an 8.  Again, I like RP a lot because it gives me the opportunity to hear music I don't hear elsewhere.

That's EXACTLY what I thought--and it's EXACTLY why, try as I might, I just can't like this song. Absolutley despise Marty Balin, not just for his insipid voice. The song 'Miracles' is an unforgivable offense.

Not unless he got over his helium addiction!

Actually, my friends and I 'discovered' this band on vinyl at the used record store back in the day in the '70's-- I never heard them on the radio until decades later; we all liked it back in high school days since it reminded us of the Airplane and Rush with a different prog/folk rock twist to it.

I've never, since their first single, thought it was a woman singing. And I feel that his voice suits the music as well as the songs he's singing. Not all of this album's as convincing as some of their other stuff, but they're building a name for themselves, slowly but surely. At least he doesn't let his critics detract him from trying. If an artist find his/her true voice, and has fans that enjoy listening to it, then let them sing, why impose YOUR ideas and artistic tastes upon HIS artistic endeavours, you'll only end up criticizing them for lack of originality! Actions speak louder than words, don't you know...

And also similar to 'Shirley' Strachan, from Aussie 70's band Skyhooks.
Although I thinking sounds more like Pavlov's Dog, from their album 'Pampered Menial'.
I'm digging it........
