Child Of Mine--9.5
The Ghost--7 (down the list of my favorite Bob Welch tunes)
Homeward Bound--8.5
Sunny Side Of Heaven--(on a scale of 1 to 10) 20!!!! (The best thing Danny ever did...with FM or after) :blob2:
Bare Trees---7.5 ("Station Man" rehashed a third time..."Sands Of Time" on Future Games was second)
Sentimental Lady---8.5 (better live as first half of medley with "Future Games"...even better on "French Kiss")
Danny's Chant---8 (the intro makes an expectation the rest of the song doesn't deliver; but it's worth putting up with the rest of the song just for it.)
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love---10
Dust---8
Thoughts On A Grey Day--talk about "wasted space" :nod:

Add 'em up, divide by 9 equals an average score of 9.6

I just wonder what this album would've sounded like had the original mixes not been erased at JFK airport in 1972.

Homeward Bound-9
Sunny Side of Heaven-8
Bare Trees-8
Sentimental Lady-10
Danny's Chant-5

I'm not even going to rate that poem at the end. I wish they had put a song on the end instead.
Total-8.1

I really like Bare Trees. It's my second favorite Bob Welch era Fleetwood Mac album, after Mystery To Me. I think Spare Me A Little was Christine's first great song that she wrote-I love it and Dust is my favorite Danny Kirwin song. Sentimental Lady & Hypnotized are my favorite Bob Welch songs. I'd just like to get rid of that poem at the end.
