(2-CD set) The first Country Joe album with a focus on a group sound since The Fish broke up in '71. After working as a guest with the Christmas Jug Band, Joe takes an all-acoustic jug band / string band approach here, using CJB front man & producer, Tim Eschliman as co-producer and washtub/string bass player and Gregory Dewey, the CJB's stalwart washboardist/drummer & the Fish's Woodstock drummer. Drawing upon the Jug Band's pool of instrumentalists, and Joe's own circle of talent, the album was fleshed out with such luminaries as Harper Simon, The Persuasions, Austin de Lone, Russ Gauthier, Ken "Snakebite" Jacobs, Suzy Thompson, Chris & Lorin Rowan and Bernie Krause. Included also are songs from Joe's singer/songwriter songbook recorded by Stephen Hart at Fantasy Studios. All original material save one Merle Haggard tune. Decades in the making, Time Flies By incorporates instrumentals, ballads, protests, waltzes and rock and roll.
