Right, I think it bad karma that you go thru recording an album with guys(the original Time) and then leave them high and dry like that.

This album was not going to stop him from still doing a Jesse Johnson album. Like you said it could have gotten him back in the spotlight in a bigger way.

Just like when the origina Time performed at the music awards a year ago, everyone took notice

All this time you do hardly anything, and as soon as the Time records an album and inspires your creative streak you dump them. Wrong Jesse Wrong

Bad karma and very wrong...

It's not like he walked into an unfamiliar situation...there were no suprises here. He should never have made a commitment he didn't intend to keep. On his fb page he posted a long speech about being a loner, yadda, yadda...at 50+ years old did he not know that about himself before he agreed to participate in the O7 reunion???

This release could have helped to re-introduce him and actually enhance his solo efforts if he could manage to get out of his own way.

Now the rest of the fellas, the record label, the fans, etc. are kinda left hanging. I hope things work out with or without him because Condensate is a great cd.

I'm sure when Jesse signed up he thought they were going to push the new music and promote the CD. They're not and they really haven't tried to all that hard. morris is playing a gig with 'Part-Time' on New Years Eve and Jellybean is back on the road with Fdeluxe in January. I think they should have held off releasing it until everyone could devote more time to the project. I can respect Jellybean being in Fdeluxe simultaneously(they're not playing Time tracks) but Morris needs to stop the touring(playing an almost identical setlist). He's basiclally competing with his own band by doing so.

I agree that they should put more of the new music in the setlist but Morris was already committed to the remaining Time shows so he has to follow through with those instead of ducking out on them. It's only been a couple of months and it would have been to Jesse's benefit to stick with the project longer than he did.

As 2elijah suggested, he should have been more patient and allowed things to develop gradually.
