"Time" at 20

[SteveMacD]

I could do without the Dave Mason songs. The original "Blow By Blow" was good, but the remake that made the album useless.

Mick's song had the best guitar solo.

Generally speaking, Christine's songs were too long. "Hollywood" and "Sooner or Later" were needlessly long. Nothing was gained by extending their time. The useless time would have been better spent on another song ( like another remake of "The Bigger the Love").

Too many remakes. "Talkin' To My Heart" and "Nothing Without You" weren't new (nor was "Blow By Blow" technically speaking). Yeah, they were better than dead space, but I wanted more.

For me, Bekka Bramlett and Billy Burnette were the heroes of this album. The album they made a few years later was okay, but I wonder what could have been (artistically) if they had parted ways with Dave, and maybe even Christine, and focused more on the chemistry between Bekka and Billy. I think they could have taken the band on a new direction.
