I really don't understand the thing with Ruth Moody... Her voice is beautiful, but where is it? I thought this would be like one of the duets on ATTR, where they would sing different parts and harmonies, but I can't hear her at all. What's the point in using great artists as background singers when they are drowned in the mix? For that, Mark could even have used me on the record, and that says it all
She's definitely there - I can hear her in the chorus.
From Guy's forum a while ago:
Q: Hi Guy, Did Ruth and Mark sing a duet? or did she sing backing vocals? Love the site, keep up the good work.
Guy: A bit of both actually, she was great
I remember Mark talking about "Are We In Trouble Now" just after Golden Heart was released and saying that Vince Gill's BV on that song made his own voice sound halfway good. - It was not apparent, to me anyway, that there were any backing vocals at all, but they obviously did make a very subtle difference to the sound.
