DAVE MASON & CASS ELLIOT - Dave Mason & Cass Elliot (1971)
192
Ostensibly a Dave Mason solo album, this is one of his finest. Coupling him with Cass Elliot, however, was a stroke of genius. Elliot's involvement is, while not suspect, somewhat limited. Although she provides excellent background vocals, she tends to get a little lost in the harmony stack. Never the less, this is a great moment for her too. The album, though, is propelled by Mason's awesome 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 Facade," where he layers acoustic and electric guitars to a scintillating effect. Elliot's "Here We Go Again" showcases her ability as a great lead vocalist. Paul Harris provides some excellent keyboard and string arrangements, providing a glimpse of fine work that was to follow in Stephen Stills' Manassas. Overall, this was a highly underrated album, but in the end, it is also one of the finest from the 1970s.
