Ahh, but neither Ken Caillat or Richard Dashut were on hand to produce 'Behind The Mask.'

Richard Dashut did produce 'Time,' however, and I think the production on that album is flawless.

If I'm remembering correctly, I recall you saying that you don't own 'Time'... so that might be why you see it differently.
Or it might just be Buckingham-Fan bias.

I do own "Time." And wouldn't you know it? My favorite song is the one with Bekka for which Lindsey does the background vocals you can barely hear. It was my favorite song before I realized Lindsey was on it.

Johnny, do you see a lot of soud similarities between Time/Behind the Mask and the Lindsey albums? I don't. And regardless of who was behind the boards, Lindsey's vision and masterful playing are conspicuously absent. In your reference to "Time," you're talking about production. I'm talking about the "feel" of the album, the sound that Lindsey so masterfully crafted for the albums he was involved in. You can't match the feel of Time and Behind the Mask to Lindsey's stuff.

Interstingly, I think the classic FM sound is gone because CM is not there. Other than SYHA, SYW has little of that classic sound. The song SYW has it, but SN says that song was an homage to CM. Having said that, I like the new sound very much. FO course all of this is subjective

I think the facts do not support that neither CM nor SN has any talent outside of LB's production. LB had nothing to do with any of SN's eight or more solo efforts (counting movie songs) save one brilliant guitar part in "I Miss You" on TISL. CM certainly had been making very good music (e.g. "Why," HAHTF, etc.) long before LB entered the picture and her solo record was no slouch.

Strand, methinks you and some others are being too literal in your interpretation of what this reviewer meant. He is merely saying that without Lindsey, the albums would not have sounded the way they did. That takes nothing away from Stevie and Christine.

And by the way, Christine's solo efforts? I'm going to be diplomatic and just say they don't do it for me.

As for Stevie, well, I won't repeat myself.

Happy Saint Patricks Day Music Critics!!!

We canceled Rolling Stone Mag.!My adoration
of Lindsey has evolved since 1975! Even an
air-head (as some imply!) like this music fanatic
knows all three were made with F Mac Chemistry!
And those Brilliant Engineers mentioned above!!!

RS is just coveringup for not putting Lindsey
on their 100 Greatest Guitarist List! Sky
