Behind The Mask
I have read that Lindsey cringes at the mention of this album but I gotta be honest, I have always loved it. Given that Chris and Stevie are on there, I sorta viewed it as it's on project away from MAC.
There are some great songs on it and it captures that FM mystique alittle. When I listen to it now, it's sort of nostalgic. |

oh, well in that case--the comment was warranted! haha
Actually, it's my nature to see the positive in everything and I'll say that although TIME didn't flow well, it had some redeeming songs. I wished WOC had been recorded by Stevie, the song woulda been letter perfect for her although she didn't write it. |

No, he cringes at both. Actually, with TIME, he thought the band had some potential. Lindsey was a fan of Dave Mason, and was more than aware of Bekka Bramlett's potential. Then again, Lindsey talks out of both sides of his ass, so who knows. Pretty much across the board, Lindsey feels that anything he's not on is inferior.

what did you mean? the entire album work? He just played a part on the song BTM.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that was sarcasm...

My guess is that, if he thought the TIME project had any potential, it was owing to the fact that Dashut was involved (along with the three Brits, of course).

Well, does the fact that he played on her song indicate any type of support?

Hanging out a bit with old friends? A gesture (a cameo with one's old band isn't exactly unheard of in the record business)? It seems to me that more is often made of these guest shots than they sometimes warrant. Like a million other people, Lindsey has laid down some guitar tracks for dozens of acts. I don't think it always means that he has deep musical admiration for all those acts -- maybe he did, I don't know. But I think it's generally more casual than that. Did he love Dream Academy? Josie Cotton? Does anyone think Stevie Nicks has given that red-haired nobody she once sang a song with a second thought since then? Steve said Lindsey was aware of Bekka's potential. What does that mean? Potential for what? I thought Lindsey might have mentioned Bekka in some old interview that I don't remember seeing.

What?! No way. As far as Behind The Mask goes, it's one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums and the BTM lineup might be my favorite of all the Fleetwood Mac lineups. In my view, Christine's songs are some of her best ever and they collectively might be the strongest she has on any Mac album. Billy's songs are top notch too, in particular Hard Feelings which is among my all time favorites. I think Rick got the short end of the stick with Walk Another Mile and Got No Home not getting on the album. Stevie's would have been better off not even been on the album since Freedom is the only song that's worth listening to, which is another one of my all time favorites.

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.

I think that Dave's writing always had a trite quality to his lyrics (same goes for Christine, BTW), but he was able to pull them off much better during the Traffic/Alone Together era. After that, it was really hit or miss. Sometimes there were wonderful songs, other times the lyrics could get painful. I think my biggest objection to his Time songs is that he seemed to focus more on being a hard rocker than the AOR legend he had once been. Now, I loved the Soccer Rocks The Globe version of Blow By Blow. That WAS classic Dave Mason. But then they decided to make it hard rocker, and it just didn't work.
