This Time Around is an album by the American band Green on Red, released in 1989.[1] [2] It was first released in the United Kingdom.[3] The band supported the album with a European tour.[4] This Time Around was a commercial disappointment.[5]
Recorded in ten days, the album was produced by Glyn Johns.[6] [7] It was recorded by band members Dan Stuart and Chuck Prophet, backed by studio and guest musicians.[8] Spooner Oldham played organ on the album; Bernie Leadon contributed on guitar.[9] "You Couldn't Get Arrested" is about the travails of a drug addict.
The Vancouver Sun stated that "Dan Stuart has taken it upon himself to be the chronicler of the Great American Nightmare—the white trash world of the underclass." Trouser Press wrote that Green on Red "keep messing around in old Stones turf, but the resonant Memphis mood that made sense of the previous LP is in short supply here."[10] The Los Angeles Times deemed This Time Around the band's "leanest, meanest album yet." The Austin American-Statesman opined that "the sound is reminiscent of classic-era Rolling Stones."[11]
AllMusic wrote that, "by this time Stuart's drunken-loser schtick has worn thin."
