Dave Mason & Cass Elliot (1971)

Dave Mason & Mamma Cass Elliot , 1971 Rev-Ola Records

  You have to love the voice of Dave Mason....smooth, harmonic, clear and always emotive.  What make this album so special is the combo of Mason with Mama Cass. Make no mistake about this that this is one of Mason's finest albums and compares IMHO to his first solo album after departing Traffic.  As you would expect the album is full of great melodic songs layered over with tons of great harmonies.   Not much jamming going on here as per Mason's approach of straight forward and honest rich sounding music.The song "Sit and Wonder" is one of the great un-heard songs.
