What would I change in some songs?

By the way, whose voice is it at the intro (what you really like... I know...) ? Doesn't sound like Billy. I always thought it's Mick

I’d have thought it was mick. That said, it sounds like the same voice that did the additional ‘family man’ on TITN. I always assumed that was mick, but didn’t that turn out to just be Lindsey’s processed voice????
So on ITBOMM….who knows, could be either mick or billy with a bit of processing.

This is what I found on Billy's Q & A with The Penguin.

I've read everything to date (3/28) and not one person has asked what the hell Mick is saying at the beginning of "Back of My Mind." Do you realize how maddening that is for a fan not to know something about one of their all time favorite songs? Can you remember what he's saying? (Tim Bucci, Springfield, Illinois, USA)

Billy: Mick is asking each band member beginning with me "What's it like, Billy?" and so on.

So Mick Fleetwood is the man behind the curtain. The man behind the mask.

Thanks for posting that. Billy states that Chris never used outside musicians for Time and that another guitarist was only brought in as "experimental." Granted this was from 2000 but has that consensus not changed over the years?

In the Q&A, Billy stated that "Michael's [Michael Thompson's] work was just added to our parts." Granted, Billy only joined the Time sessions later on, but this quote seems to be the best information we have at the moment. Billy never mentioned anything about Thompson in his 2022 interview with Rolling Stone. I know that Billy came out with a book in the 2010s, so it's possible that he goes into greater detail about the Time album there, but I have yet to purchase it.

I always thought Mick was saying “I know what it sounds like,” as per Stevie’s lead-out on “Edge of Seventeen” on her tours at the time. (Remember that Mick appeared on stage with Stevie in Southern CA in 1986.)
