Let It Flow was the biggest selling album that
Dave Mason had while on Columbia, as it contained his biggest hit, "We Just Disagree," as well as "Let It Go, Let It Flow." Everything here is similar in character to the latter song, though not all of it is as catchy or hook-driven. And there is a great deal else to recommend this record, including the horn-and-string ornamented "Mystic Traveler"; the soaring, soulful "Spend Your Life with Me"; the funky "Takin' the Time to Find"; and the soulful "What DO We Got Here?" Only the two hits off this album ended up on Sony/Legacy's compilation of
Mason's work,
Long Lost Friend: The Best of Dave Mason, so it is still a relevant purchase for those curious about
Mason's work in the '70s. ~ Bruce Eder
