The Essential Dave Mason by Dave Mason - VitaMusik

LIVE

Volume 1

Volume 2

"The Best of Dave Mason at Columbia" would be a more accurate title, as this doesn't include work from his early-'70s LPs for Blue Thumb. The 19 tracks spotlight selections from seven albums that he recorded for Columbia. Including the hits "We Just Disagree," "Let It Go, Let It Flow," and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," it charts his move from easygoing early-'70s FM rock to a more mainstream AOR pop sound. ~ Richie Unterberger
