Alone Together was the well received debut album from Dave Mason who provided the melodic edge to Traffic whose music was much diminished after his departure. (US:22)
“This is arguably Mason's finest solo release, featuring quality song writing, semicommercial rock, with organ and some good wah-wah guitar.”
“It's got a few mainstream rock songs and some of the more progressive sounds of Traffic too. This album is captivating because of the outstanding musicianship in each song that should be enough to satisfy any music lover.”
“Underappreciated for his work in Traffic, Mason's first solo album is a very strong release. In the era of singer-songwriter acoustic music, this album stands the test of time due to great songs and musicianship.”
“I always felt Dave Mason contributed some of Traffic's stronger tracks and on this, his debut solo release, he made an entire album full of those same types of songs.”
“Dave Mason's 1970 album Alone Together is a true gem. Every song is terrific and worth listening to. This was Mason’s first album after years with the great band Traffic. It was a mighty and worthy effort, and clearly his best solo effort. Listen and enjoy this wonderful music.”
“It's a fantastic collection of catchy pop songs that are highly personal in nature. Gone are all the trappings of Traffic about the psychedelic scene and ephemeral culture of the day. Dave sings about timeless subjects, like love and breaking up and the pain of relationships going bad. He instils each song with his personal angst and pain. That's why this album endures and is an essential part of any good collection.”
“Alone Together is a well composed album from one of rock music's finest guitarists. Here, Dave Mason rocks with great musical precision and displays a toned-down, moody side as well.”
“One of the greatest albums in rock history. Solid guest musicians make every song here a classic. Dave Mason is the most underrated musician of our time.”
