Kim Carnes rocketed to brief stardom in 1981 with her version of Jackie DeShannon's "Bette Davis Eyes" from the album "Mistaken Idenity." Oddly enough, there's been an amusing case of mistaken idenity in the recent reissue of her '83 follow-up album, "Voyeur."
EMI has reissued several of Carnes' classic albums, featuring the requistic bonus tracks. The new "Voyeur" includes a remix of the title track, a live track and a studio outtake called "Little Bit of Love." That outtake was a song penned by Tulsa's own Dwight Twilley, when it was demoed for presentation to Carnes, Twilley's then wife, Susan Cowsill sang it. In the reissue process, the masters got mixed up, and Cowsill's version of the song was pressed instead of Carnes'.
Deepening the hue of crimson on the faces execs of EMI, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the most prolific reviewer for the All Music Guide, recently wrote that the Twilley-Cowsill track "would have been the best thing on the album if it had originally made the cut."
