The Feelies 'Time For A Witness' LP

‘Time For A Witness’ is the fourth studio album by the American rock band The Feelies, released in 1991 on A&M / Coyote.

Most of the lyrics were written by Glenn Mercer. The album was co-produced by Gary Smith. The band would tape their rehearsals and look for interesting parts in the jams. 

‘What She Said’ uses harmonica and slide guitar. ‘Real Cool Time’ is a cover of The Stooges song. Ensemble playing was always vital to The Feelies, and ‘Time For A Witness’ is a superb document of the musicians’ interaction. 

On ‘Time For A Witness’, what The Feelies say isn’t as important as how they say it. Their sonic articulation here is outstanding.

The Feelies broke up months after this LP was released. Despite its flaws, Time For A Witness’ shows they bowed out in proud form.
