Shame that Dave doesn't consider this a proper album Review written by John Fitzgerald, September 26th, 2004 Dave may condemn this release but it's a great album, definitely one of my favorites from his solo cannon. Of the five studio songs, the title track is a catchy, urgent rocker while the opener "To be free" betters the version from "Dave Mason & Cass Elliot". "Here we go again" is short but very sweet (this is a different song to the "Here we go again" that appeared on "Dave Mason & Cass Elliot") and my favorite is the irresistible "A heartache, a shadow, a lifetime". Meanwhile, the live songs kick off with the best version I've ever heard of "Pearly queen" and "Can't stop worrying, can't stop loving" is improved on here from it's "Alone together" version. Also, "Just a song" is superior on this disc than the original "Alone together" recording however, this, and the version of "Feelin' alright" are present on the "Dave Mason is alive" album as well so hopefully things will be cleaned up a little with a 2 on 1 reissue CD of "Dave Mason is alive" & "Headkeeper" but I doubt it. Anyway, the music itself is magnificent. Highly recommended for sure.
