DISCUSSION: Bekka's songs from Time
Its time for Time. Everybody's favorite album...uh okay, maybe not.
Songs up for discussion are... 1. Winds of Change 2. Nothing Without You 3. Dreamin' the Dream (co-write w/Billy) 4. Talkin' to My Heart (duet w/Billy) 5. I Got It in For You (duet w/Billy) The last two are some of my favorite FM songs. I'm a sucker for duets. Billy and Bekka's voices go together perfectly. |

Before I can comment, I think I'll listen to Time more carefully. I typically concentrate on Christine's songs when I listen to it.

This album isn't even acknowledged as a Fleetwood Mac album in the booklet of their 'Very Best of Fleetwood Mac' album. Pretty sad when even the band won't even acknowledge it IMO. But maybe it isn't acknowledged because Stevie and Lindsey weren't involved. Who knows, I just found that funny.

I really like Winds Of Change. The only reason to buy that album. I think Billy's cool too, just not Fleetwood Mac cool. Just proving I don't hate the Fleetwood Mac Light Band. Bekka didn't save the day with Winds Of Change, she just saved the album from being a total throw away. |

My order of preference:
Winds of Change I Got It In For You Talkin' To My Heart Nothing Without You Dreamin' The Dream It's definitely not the greatest FM album by any stretch of the imagination, but shouldn't be completely forgotten. Christine's material and Bekka's, and Billy's contribution keep it from being a complete loss.

The only one of these songs that doesn't work for me is Dreamin' the Dream.
The rest of them show both her and Billy off to really good effect. These songs, as a whole, are better than anything on Behind the Mask. |

I've got to go with Winds of Change, although I love NWY, and IGIIFY.
WHY isn't this a FM? I flag bullsh*t! It's as much a FM album, as any album they're ever made. Rumours really killed FM....the band had always been about reinvention, but they're still nursing that 33yo drama! Boo! Hiss! INDUCT BOB WELCH!!! INDUCT BOB WELCH!!! INDUCT BOB WELCH!!! |

I LOVE "I Got It In For You". It's one of my favorite songs to listen to, great vocals from both. "Nothing Without You" is a great re-do of the original, with a great new energy. These are the two songs I listen to the most from this album.

But I think it's cool others like these light versions of the Mac as well as the five and Peter Green's Mac. Induct Bob Welch why? I also have a few of his solo albums so I'm not trying to bash the guy. I just don't like some of his music. HomerMc, what are your top ten Welch songs (solo or Mac)? Still Time stinks (back on subject). |

Winds of Change, Nothing Without You, and Dreaming the Dream - plan on counting as Bekka
Talkin' to My Heart and I Got It in for You - either Billy or collaboration Agree, disagree, don't care.... |

Now that I have re-listened a few times, I think 'Winds Of Change' is the best Bekkah song and "Talkin' To My Heart' is the best collaboration.

First of all, I do not care much about the song "Dreamin' the Dream". I think it's a filler.
"Talkin' to My Heart" and "I Got It in For You" are first and foremost Billy songs for this listener. They surely are the beginning of the brilliant duo that Bekka & Billy are - and a great precursor to their duo album which is wonderful in its very own way. That leaves only 2 songs that I have perceived as truly representing Bekka, which is not much. "Winds Of Change" was written by someone named Kit Hain whilst "Nothing Without You" is written by members of the Bramlett family. It looks like Bekka wasn't much of a songwriter yet during this period, but she surely is now. These 2 songs are connected with me going to driving school and it's hard not to notice that "Nothing Without You" sounds better in a car than the other song. Therefore, this is the best Bekka tune on the album. But there is one other song I'd like to mention: Joe Cocker did record a duet with the new singer of Fleetwood Mac, sort of as a vehicle to present her, in 1994 on his Have A Little Faith album. The song is called "Take Me Home". It's a great showcase of Bekka's vocal style. Why doesn't she record a solo album with her own versions of all the songs she has written that other artists had country chart hits with? It's about time she releases a CD like that. |
