Since then, Mason has toured on his own and with former Traffic-mate Jim Capaldi (chronicled on The 40,000 Headmen Tour). In 1987, Mason tried to revive his career with little success, and seemed destined for an early retirement when he was invited to join Fleetwood Mac in the 90s at the request of his friend, Mick Fleetwood. That changed with the release of Let It Flow in 1977 and the smash hit, “We Just Disagree.” Just as quickly, Mason fell back to his former fortunes, and by 1981 had temporarily retired from the business. Migrating to the greener pastures of Columbia Records, Mason began releasing middle-of-the-road rock records that sold respectably but yielded no big hits. That album was followed by a series of unauthorized releases ( Headkeeper, Dave Mason Is Alive!, etc.) as Mason sought to extricate himself from his contract with Blue Thumb. Although well received by fans and critics, Mason confounded many with his next move, a collaboration with Mama Cass Elliott. Following a brief stop with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett’s band (the Eric Clapton parallels are sometimes eerie), Mason released his first solo album, Alone Together. Dave Mason played guitar and wrote a number of songs with Traffic, including the perennial favorite “Feelin’ Alright.” Yet after two landmark albums, Mason decided to leave the band to pursue music that was less overtly psychedelic. Few bands beyond The Beatles did as much to popularize psychedelic pop music in England as Traffic.
