And, if you listen to Dave Mason, you'll see that the material he's written through the years is pretty much the SAME in 1994 as it was in 1970 (or earlier). And, the fact that the two biggest hits we performed were songs written by someone else ("All Along The Watchtower" by Bob Dylan via Jimi Hendrix; and "We Just Disagree" by his bandmate Jim Kreuger)...his actual biggest hits were hits by other people covering his songs: "Feelin' Alright" by Joe Cocker and "Only You Know & I Know" by Delaney & Bonnie And Friends.

If you listen to Dave's own albums, his two songs on Time aren't radically different from his previous material in the least...and one song ("I Wonder Why") lyrically, quotes quite a few earlier Dave Mason songs. Either of those two could've fit comfortably on ANY Dave Mason album.
