The best thing about Sweet Baby, apart from the songs, is the way Dallas and Matt share lead vocal duties. The same melody line and lyrics sung with the same notes and the same urgency. It doesn’t always happen – Matt often settling into backing up, harmonising or yelping, and that obviously being his role in the band – but when it does, when this unison troubadouring attack of love and devotion issues from them, it’s a magical thing indeed.
