Thought I'd continue the conversation on this thread...

Never heard of those songs! Rick and Billy both seemed to have alot of songs ready for the album, but were cut for one reason or another. I guess with 4 singer/songwriters on a single album not exactly alot of space for everybody. Plus it seemed they were "held down" and not allowed to "rock out" which I don't know what else a band with two guitarists are supposed to do!

By the time TITN came around, Stevie's Mac songs were the album's lowpoints. "Whole lotta trouble" is one of my fav Stevie solo songs. I would have loved to see what the Mac would have done with that song.
