IT'S ABOUT TIME! Vol. 2 - Songs about seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, & years!


IT'S ABOUT TIME! Vol. 2 

In the latest installment of IT'S ABOUT TIME, we've got all kinds of time.

CHERRY TESS starts us off with Fifteen Seconds, THE CHERRY VALANCE & THE CINELLI BROTHERS concern themselves more with minutes... as BROOK BENTON says; It's Just A Matter Of Time.  

Time is a luxury STEVE FORBERT doesn't think he has, & THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES' Days Are Numbered.  THE NOMADS are Five Minutes Ahead Of My/Their Time.

THE J. GEILS BAND is living On Borrowed Time, the king of the honky-tonks; GARY STEWART borrows The King Of Rock & Roll's One Night, & the always wonderful JEAN SHEPARD assures us that she'll make the time, if you've got the money. 

MOON MULLICAN has Seven Nights To Rock, THE GRASSROOTS always get around to rocking Sooner Or Later, while THE SHANGRI-LAS prefer to rock Right Now, & Not Later.

The title of the anthology came from the final track, the theme to the '60s time-traveling sitcom; IT'S ABOUT TIME, but it could just as easily have come from THE PANDORAS' track of the same name.

What are you waiting for?  As THE SPECIALS remind us It's Later Than You Think.  Don't you think it's about time you downloaded Volume 2?

IT'S ABOUT TIME! Vol. 1 Songs about seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, & years!

 



IT'S ABOUT TIME! Vol. 1 contains songs about seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, & years!


People are impatient these days.  Comedian Kathy Ladman used to joke that her dad would stand in front of the microwave saying: “C’mon!  I don’t have all minute!”


Across the 23 tracks on this first installment; Gene Vincent, Dave Dudley, & Ron Wood are marking time.


Lucinda Williams, Richard Hell, & Hank III are questioning their past, and Sam Butera, & Elvis Presley are looking to the future.  


Pink Floyd, The Blasters, and Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jimmie Vaughan warn us that time is running out.


Whatever your philosophical view—one thing is certain—this compilation will kill about 79 minutes (or 4,740 seconds) of your time.  We at JON-KY feel it will be time well-spent.
