Inspired by the 5 albums with no filler thread, I was going to add Dave Mason – Alone Together but realised it lent itself to another sort of topic; artists that start on a high and then never quite achieve that peak again.
For those of you not familiar with Dave Mason’s first album its worth noting that he was well connected at the time, had played with Hendrix as well as Delaney and Bonnie who were themselves near their peak around then. His first album had a great deal of assistance from the Delaney and Bonnie tribe and as such can almost be described as one of their offerings. It’s a tight album with no real filler and top notch musicianship as well as some of Dave Mason’s strongest compositions.

So what other artists start on a high and then slowly, or quickly, slide down.
