For my taste, Steve Steinman takes too many liberties. He replaced a lot of the "golden notes" and phrasings from the original recordings and does his own thing. Fair enough. Caleb on the other hands stays very close to the recordings. There's still room for adapting a few of Meat's live mannerisms, I think. Or he makes the songs his own, but please, not the way Steve Steinman does. In my opinion, many of those liberties he takes are not very tasteful.
