How Time Flies

Description

How Time Flies is a compilation album by the American singer and songwriter Wayne Watson, released on DaySpring Records in 1992, a division of Word, manufactured and distributed by Word. Featuring selected tracks from Watson’s three album released on DaySpring during the 1980s – Giants in the Land (1985), Watercolour Ponies (1987), and The Fine Line (1988) – as well as Watson’s rendition of “It Is Well With My Soul” from the multi-artist compilation Our Hymns (1989). Also including three new songs produced by Wayne Watson and Tim Miner; “It’s Time”, “There Is A Greater Love”, and “The Touch Of The Master’s Hand”.

This half compilation, half new album from one of America’s post popular CCM artists is very pleasant. The use of acoustic guitar and strings section is delightful and abundant, in the case of the latter, a little too abundant. There are too many slow ballads and not enough like the upbeat title track. One has to wait ’til track nine, «Material Magic» to get a similar sound (1980s Toto, I think!). The acoustic guitar on «The Touch Of The Master’s Hand» (excellent lyrics here, comparing the work of God to the work of a violin maker) is also quite similar to that on another of his Christian radio hits from yesteryear, «Watercolour Ponies». It’s a very well crafted, something old-something new album which improves with each play. By the way, I swear it’s Christopher Cross on track 11. [Steve Amadeo, Cross Rhythms, August 1993]
