I've never really given it much thought if I'm honest. I just always took it for granted that Quo had 3 lead vocalists back in the day and pretty much enjoyed them all. It was evident that Rick's voice was starting to go some time ago but is it any wonder? The throat issues in 2005/2006 more or less finally resulted in him being prevented from singing as he used to, but he was struggling a little even before that. Not so much on record but live. As for the comparison with the very early days, I guess they were all still learning their trade and let's not forget that Quo moved styles almost overnight. A new delivery by Rick and Alan in particular had to be worked on. Not consciously I wouldn't have thought, but sort of time served. Apart from anything else, almost everyone's voice goes/changes with age. Even the best of 'em. Apart from Jeff Lynne. And RJ Dio.

This is true. Sounds just the same as the first time I heard it.

I thought he was brave with BFM as he got older.

I thought he was brave with BFM as he got older. That was a song that fitted well to his grittier sound. Others like Little Lady sounded awful though.

I actually think his voice on Gotta Go Home is great! A little bit like Mark Farner.
