Alone Together ()

My first exposure to Dave Mason was his backup work for Jimi Hendrix on the one-take studio example of "Watchtower". I have followed his work since then. I never tire of this piece ("Alone Together"). I bought when it was first issued (a motled, flesh/brown/black vinyl platter), and still listen to it (a taped copy, not the platter). His later stuff and performances show off the same brilliance exhibited in this album. The only shame is that his agents and recording companies didn't do their jobs any better than they did, and he remains less well-known and less heard than an artist as talented as Dave should be; which is widely and often. The sole saving grace is that he never compromised, and has remained true to his talent's calibre. The artists from those days are exceedingly rare, and those that remained any good rarer still. Dave was great, and got better with time, and still today the quality never lacks, and he never disappoints.
