Title: Do you own this album?
Review: When "It's like You Never Left" was released, most of mainstream music media (those who cared) concurred that it didn't live up to Dave Mason's first solo effort "Alone Together". That one is a classic for sure, but this record is on that level, as far as I am concerned. They are two different albums for sure, but "It's like You Never Left" is unparalleled for its deep melodies, serene vocals, and musicianship. There is no need to mention each song, because I like all of them. Especially moving is "The Lonely Ones": incredibly soaring melody and vocals, replete with Stevie Wonder playing his best harmonica. I can't tell you how many times my Brother and I have played "Maybe" with guitar and flute when we get together. My college band played no less than four songs from this album. If you like real music but you are not familiar with this one, then you have certainly missed out.
