question. i have only seen eisley once in concert, about a year ago. i have all three EPs. from this background i had assumed sherri sang all the lead vocals, and stacy sang the bgvs. but recent posts have made me think that stacy must sing lead as well, maybe on some of the newer unrecorded songs? or maybe the songs i have heard that i thought were all sherri are also stacy? i can imagine that as sisters their voices would sound pretty similar. anyway, just wondering what songs stacy sings lead on.

Sherri and Stacy split the lead on most of the songs...

Hey. They both share about equal load on lead vox's and on bckgrnd vox's.

examples:

Over the Mountains
Verses - Stacy ("with lightbulbs in our pockets...ooh ahh ahh ahhh, we light the darkened forest"
Chorus - Both - "...ooohh ooohh ah, ah ah ahhhhh..."
Bridge - Sherri (solo) "tripping through the misty streams of light, so beautiful, I stare in awe..."

Mr Pine
Verses - Stacy
Chorus - both girls overlap (Sherri sings "soft hushed breath...it goes in and out", while Stacy sings "ahhh")
Bridge - Stacy (solo)

I Wasn't Prepared
Verses - Sherri
Chorus - Sherri (Stacy harmony)
Bridge - Sherri

optional song on the tour: (mainly played for first 1/2 tour)

Laughing City
Verses - Sherri
Chorus - Sherri (Stacy sings overlapping, "...that is where you'll find me..."

Marvelous Things
Stacy - all verses
Chorus - Sherri, Stacy background
Bridge - Stacy.

They All Surrounded Me
Verses - Stacy
Chorus - Stacy (Sherri harmony)
Bridge - Stacy

Tree Tops
Versus - Sherri
Chorus - Stacy (Sherri harmony)
Bridge - Sherri (solo) "butter warm clouds dripping into my mouth..tasting of Golden"

So, anyway, you can see how equal the weight is upon both sisters. You can see how this makes it tough for the guy mixing the band. How does he know who's singing, when...and sometimes, they invert during a chorus... one's lead, the other harmony on first phrase, then switch. weird. That's why we have to have a better than average soundguy. it's all ear.

hope that helps.

Boyd
