![]() Alone Together (1970) [ larger cover art ] |
Things could be lazy
If they weren't so crazy
I wasn't following you
Running in circles won't find me no purpose
It's right here with you and what I do
Changes of season, are nearly as pleasin'
As watchin' the changes in you
Time for a new day, in search of a new way
But are you sure that it will do
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too
I said well, let's see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth 'cause I can't pretend
Find yourself a real friend
Then you nearly reached the end
Of all of this runnin' 'round we do
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too
World in changes, world in changes
If they weren't so crazy
I wasn't following you
Running in circles won't find me no purpose
It's right here with you and what I do
Changes of season, are nearly as pleasin'
As watchin' the changes in you
Time for a new day, in search of a new way
But are you sure that it will do
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too
I said well, let's see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth 'cause I can't pretend
Find yourself a real friend
Then you nearly reached the end
Of all of this runnin' 'round we do
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too
World in changes, world in changes

| funkyalfonso (Vancouver Island) | Posted: May 04, 2013 - 14:27 " Headkeeper " is definitely worth checking-out. |
| megaboogieman (Russia, Gulag Archipelago) | Posted: Apr 19, 2013 - 11:08 Great Traffic sound. I miss 70s. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 00:14 Typical crazy sound of the 70s! Nice! |
| casey1024 (Here and Now) | Posted: Jan 15, 2013 - 07:15 Nice to hear Mr. Mason. It's been a while. What a show at Cape Cod Coliseum in 1979. |
| Lichenia, (uk) | Posted: Dec 30, 2012 - 07:38 Thanks for introducing this album into my life. Don't know how I missed it first time round. I'm making up for lost playing time as am always playing it. |
| cShaggy (..in the general vicinity..) | Posted: Nov 28, 2012 - 22:42 ..that album cover really, uh, rocks..(dig the top hat too).. |
| joelbb | Posted: Nov 28, 2012 - 22:41 Dave Mason kinda faded away, but this was a terrific album. |
| ninamo | Posted: Sep 11, 2012 - 15:16 brings back such good memories! |
| tulfan (Still in SE MI) | Posted: Jul 26, 2012 - 04:52 Wow. Greatness |
| Dahlia_Gumbo (San Francisco) | Posted: Jun 24, 2012 - 18:44 Cool. Yeah. Thanks RP. |
| ngunnell (Deepest Oxfordshire, UK) | Posted: Apr 22, 2012 - 05:07 Preferred Headkeeper later... |

I listened to this version of the record (one of my all-time favorites!) for a while, and bought another to keep wrapped as a collector's item, but found that subsequent releases were pressed on regular black vinyl. I do think the black one sounded better, though. |
| bachbeet | Posted: Mar 24, 2010 - 18:07 Love this song and this album. Just a terrific solo effort from Dave after Traffic. And, i bought that original vinyl multi-colored when it came out too. |

| kcgirlindc | Posted: Jan 20, 2010 - 18:10 This song was at one time very important to me, and I haven't heard it in ages. Thanks for playing it. |

| RedGuitar (Iowa, USA) | Posted: Nov 03, 2009 - 10:34 Picked this CD up recently after hearing a couple tunes on RP. I think it's a real good album. |
| gatorade (Ocean Park, WA) | Posted: Oct 02, 2009 - 20:45 Dated? Excuse me....One of the BEST albums ever! Can we go to eleven? |
| jagdriver (Tunin' in from the aptly-named Grass Valley, CA) | Posted: Sep 16, 2009 - 21:51 He just released a new album. |
| Hannio (Austin, TX) | Posted: Sep 01, 2009 - 08:49 Very dated sounding. Good if you're into nostalgia, but I never liked him in the first place. |
| drtjdel | Posted: Sep 01, 2009 - 08:43 He plays the 12 string intro on Hendrix' version of All Along the Watchtower. |
| tom-kenna (pompano beach) | Posted: Jul 15, 2009 - 19:01 Saw him a bunch of times in the mid-70s with the band that had Mike Finnegan, Jim Krueger & Gerald Johnson - great stuff, underrated artist and Alone Together was probably his best album. One of the best shows I saw. Mason, Robin Trower and Golden Earing at the Spectrum 1974 |

| gypsyman (Just passing through....) | Posted: Mar 11, 2009 - 02:37 I was just listening to Headkeeper yesterday.......... |
| RadioDoc (Chicagoland) | Posted: Feb 23, 2009 - 13:05 Just simply outstanding on all levels. |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Jan 22, 2009 - 23:41 Doesn't get much finer...............9 minimum. |
| Randomax (Wimberley, TX) | Posted: Dec 22, 2008 - 09:17 ahhhhh....memories....I guess everyone remembers their "innocence lost" music....this is the album to which I "lost" my virginity! ![]() |
| jagdriver (Auburn, CA) | Posted: Sep 18, 2008 - 15:22 jcjoh wrote: Play more Dave! I've even liked Mason's version of "Watchtower" better than Hendrix'. One of his worst songs was probably the most popular - "We Just Disagree". Commercial radio is good at that. It happens that Mason was hanging around Electric Ladyland when Jimi was recording the two-record set. Some accounts have him playing on some numbers, including Watchtower. Certainly fellow Traffic alum Steve Winwood appears on the album, and it's Jack Cassidy's bass you hear on the thundering opening to Voodoo Chile (Slight Return). |
| LuvWilloughby (Westmore,VT) | Posted: Jul 01, 2008 - 10:15 DM was the first live concert I went to. It was at St. Bonaventure Univ. back in 1975. Great show. Big fan of his ever since. |

| Stewed_Mulligan (West Virginia, USA) | Posted: Jul 01, 2008 - 10:14 he still has it...he was just in Morgantown, WV and rocked the theater. Loved this album in the 70's |
| Deadwing (Cincinnati OH) | Posted: Jun 15, 2008 - 21:08 Dave Mason- I agree. Very classy act! |
| anotherlistener | Posted: May 15, 2008 - 10:45 Great album, not a bad cut on it. Saw Mr Mason several times during the seventies, early eighties. Always great musicianship and great shows. Intend seeing him again this summer. Introducing the kids to the golden age of rock. |
| linden (Santa Cruz, CA) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 10:42 Someone keeps goosing him. |
| stevesaw (Northern VA USA) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 10:41 BTW he is still touring small clubs and he puts on a great show! All his greats, some Traffic, very good band, good jams. |
| Alifreckles50 (Frederick, MD) | Posted: Feb 26, 2008 - 11:34 can't remember the last time I heard this. It got a fair amount of airplay on "FM" back in the day. |
| jjbix (san diego) | Posted: Jan 10, 2008 - 12:10 Dave Mason has a nice body of work, I wonder why he never got his due. |
