SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:09 Min.
Performed by John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band, this ballad helps narrate a montage sequence in the 1989 film, Eddie & The Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! While actor Michael Paré is the on-screen ‘Eddie Wilson,’ Cafferty provides the fictional Eddie’s singing voice.
REVIEW:
Even if this poignant song isn’t remarkable, John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band are still in solid form. As intended, “Just a Matter of Time” is an effective storytelling tool re: Eddie’s on-screen ambivalence returning to his rock ‘n’ roll roots. Even for non-fans, this track offers a worthwhile choice for ‘80s soundtrack playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
