The scuttlebutt is you get used to it as it goes along
Review written by John Fitzgerald, July 12th, 2005 There's a Dave Burt on this album listed for guitar & vocal duties as well as tracks that list Dave Mason's name in full but some tracks simply list a "Dave" so I'm going under the assumption those are Burt's parts. As for the tracks that list Mason specifically, they are surprisingly, for the most part, the most bluesy songs on the record. This wouldn't be surprising had Mason come up through the avenues that other Fleetwood Mac members had but it is interesting to hear DM in more blues drenched surroundings such as on the up tempo shuffling "Sun down lady" (which rocks well with a good boogie feel though Dave's lead vocals are not as clear as one would hope (as he's singing them with (Neil) Merryweather) but you still can make them out), "Hello little girl" (which is a 12 bar shuffle featuring a harmonica solo and I'm guessing the rhythm guitar that Dave is playing on this one is the grimy sounding one in the left channel) & "Rough dried woman" (on which Mason plays strong bass). This is a blues swinging harmonica squealer with the vocals sung in to the harmonica mike adding to the tracks fuzziness). Dave co wrote all three of these tracks as well as a more funk laden pop rock orientated outing here called "Dr. Mason" which again has Mason singing with Merryweather, this time in harmony with each other so you can pick Dave out better this time, it's an entertainingly echoy track. As for the rest, "I found love" is a shouting opener featuring a harsh, dirty organ sound which makes the guitar sound clean which is different if nothing else. "Teach you how to fly" is a pokey, mid tempo electronic sounding track, "Just a little bit" is a roller down a bumpy road which gets better as it goes along with some tasty organ passages. "Where I am" is a skipper that sounds slower than it is featuring swirling strings and a twangy harpsichord type sound. "Mrs. Robert's son" is a highlight, a catchy guitar led instrumental which goes back and forth between smoother parts and stabbing licks with a quiet bass solo section three minutes in, this doesn't seem like almost nine minutes in length though it is actually in fact up in the high eights. "Licked the spoon" is a strained pop tune but it is around the time this track rolls around where you start to get used to the albums overall fuzzy sound though the turntable dying, slow down effect at the end of this track sounds unervingly realistic! "The hard times" is a stronger tune than what we've heard previously here but the fiddle drenched arrangements intrude. It's still good but won't blow you away. "News" is a lean puncher where the guitars finally sound more fuzzy than the organ, so maybe this helped? "We can make it" is a cleaner sounding pop tune with a good hook but unfortunately the lead vocal parts are drowned out. It's still an album highlight though. The hard rocking fast finisher "Hooker blues" has thicker guitar runs and crashing drums and though the backwards tape doodling at the beginning is tolerable, it's shockingly annoying in the middle when it reappears a few times throughout the piece. So "Word of mouth" is an interesting place to go if you want to hear Dave in more bluesy rocking surroundings even if that's not what he's mainly known for.
