Time Flies By is a double album by Country Joe McDonald. The 25 songs are covering 45 years of his songwriter activity. The singer and guitarist is accompanied by the Woodstock drummer Greg Dewey of Country Joe and the Fish, the bassist Tim Eschliman and several guest musicians.
Goldmine magazine described it as, "satisfying, entertaining, whimsical, important and makes one realize there ain’t never gonna be anyone like him ever again." Relix called it "The most significant new release from stalwart Bay Area singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald in a good many years," and added that "McDonald is still an affecting deliverer of songs."
