If you had to pick just ONE from 'BTM'?

[OldTimer]

Got No Home.

Okay, so it wasn't actually on the album -- it was a demo that was inexcusably passed over for the album. Actually it was one of several BTM demo offerings by Rick that were rejected -- instead, they chose his weaker (IMO) Stand On The Rock.

I don't think that was of Rick's choosing. He offered good stuff, FM didn't want it.
From his King Of Hearts Press Kit:
"I wrote one group of songs for BEHIND THE MASK that were in a bluesy rock direction," Rick notes, "but that turned out not to be the direction of the album. Almost the same day I got the thumbs down from Fleetwood Mac for this kind of song ......."

Lindsey called the album 'generic', and maybe he had a point. But if they'd given Rick & Billy more free rein, it could have been much more distinctive, like When the Sun Goes Down.

So with that gripe off my chest, I'll also pick the title track. I loved dark and dangerous Chris. I wish she would have done more dark and dangerous over the years.

Behind The Mast (Christine)

This song might sound better if you're sailing.

Good one Viv. (Must be one of John's rare songs.)
