Cherry Red UK is doing a remaster of the Dave Mason & Cass Elliot album late this month. Now if they'd only do Dave Mason is Alive.........
A deceptive one, this! Originally planned as a Dave Mason solo album, it is certainly one of his finest and coupling him with Cass Elliot was an utter stroke of genius, as she goes from being "just" producer and backing vocalist to being the shining guest star of the album. Cass provides excellent background vocals on her non-lead songs alongside sister Leah Kunkel making up an impressive harmony stack. The album is propelled by Mason's superb songwriting talents and tracks such as 'On and On', 'Walk to the Point', and several others bear this out. His guitar playing is some of his finest recorded work, especially the epic 'Glittering Façade', where he layers acoustic and electric guitars to a scintillating effect. 1. Walk to the Point
2. On and On
3. To Be Free
4. Here We Go Again
5. Pleasing You
6. Sit and Wonder
7. Something to Make You Happy
8. Too Much Truth, Too Much Love
9. Next to You
10. Glittering Facade
