Take the time to find this CD
This was the album that nearly made Mason an outright star. It still didn't quite happen, but it definitely should have. The three charting singles - "So High", the title cut and "We Just Disagree" (His only major hit) are all highlights, but you can get all of those on "Long Lost Friend". The remainder of the material, particularly the self-penned songs are just as strong and make this one of his best efforts - not quite up to the all-conquering power of "Alone Together" but pretty close.
It is a softer album, with a lot of accoustic guitars, and fantastic vocal harmonies, but it also has a lot of energy and passion. Mason's skills as a singer, writer and guitarist are too often overlooked, so don't let his undeservedly low profile keep you from discovering some of the finest pop/rock of the 70s.
Underrated 70's gem
Dave Mason, while never being a critical success seemed during the mid 70's to have found a little niche for himself. Nice guitar work and strong vocals throughout mark this as one of his finest outings. The title track, "So High" and "We Just Disagree" are obvious finds, but "What Do We Got Here" has always struck me as a simple yet compelling song of lovers who just aren't quite sure that this is the one. All in all not the album of the decade, but an enjoyable listen for fans of Traffic, Spencer Davis Group and of softer guitar rock.
FOnd Memories of Years Gone By
In the mid to late seventies I was greatly influenced by my older sister's record collection. Through her I had my first savory taste of Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens and Rick Wakemen. So when, in 1978, she married and moved away, I found myself lacking for more "adult" music than what was available on the local AM radio stations. After a couple of years I went to visit my sister and her husband, and while there checked out their music. What I found was an absolute marvel; Dave Mason - Let it Flow. As an amateur musician I lost myself in Dave's intricate playing. And, as a normal male in his early twenties, Dave's lyrics really hit home; heartache, loss and hope all resonate with Mason's voice. This is an excellent album that I highly recommend to anyone that has any appreciation of "good" music.
