I dunno.... sounds entirely plausible as a Lindsey write. If it was written in the BN days, the bit about being out on the road seems fitting for the time he went out on the road with the Everly Brothers etc on his own.... she was alone and wrote Landslide, and he could well have written this.

The lyrics seem frankly a bit too sparse for Stevie. Her lyrics are more detailed generally than his and this doesn't feel quite verbose enough to be her.

I totally agree. it sounds like a Lindsey demo for all the reasons you said. Those lyrics don't strike me as something Stevie would write at all.

But.. but...

Stevie's lyrics were much sparser earlier on, compared to later on.

This track reminds me of Stevie's "Without You."

I also think, as Lindsey has noted, that Stevie has (or had) a canny/intuitive/dymanic sense of rhythm/phrasing, whereas I feel the rhythm/phrasing of Lindsey's lyrics can hang a bit awkwardly/stiltedly/prosaically over the music by comparison. And in this demo the vocals seem to have a funky dynamism that falls more under the former type.

Or could it be a rare co-write--Lindsey's music and verse with Stevie contributing a chorus lyric?
