トラフィックを脱退したデイヴが1970年に発表した初のソロ作。イギリス的な湿り気のある音とアメリカ南部の泥臭い音をスムーズに融合にさせた名作だ。この当時、彼がエリック・クラプトンと似た音楽的方向性をめざしていたことが良くわかる。
Album Details
2008 digitally remastered edition of the debut solo album from the singer, guitarist and founding member of Traffic. The writer of many of Traffic's early classics including the timeless and much-covered 'Feelin' Alright?', Mason was the first to leave due to the classic 'musical differences. Moving to the U.S., his first solo album was one of the many recordings to come out of the Leon Russell/Delaney & Bonnie axis in 1969/1970. Alone Together contains excellent, tightly constructed Pop songs, redolent of his singles for Traffic, albeit extended in the then new style, built on a fat bed of acoustic guitars with tasteful electric guitar accents. Mason's vocals are embellished with harmonies from Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear and Delaney & Bonnie. Rev-Ola
