I am a HUGE Dave Mason fan. This is his alltime classic album. I made a post about seeing him with Leon Russell. He was so good in concert, beyond any expectation I had...Except for aging a bit, the man is still at the top of his game, vocals, guitar playing...if you like him and he's coming close to your town, you will not be disappointed when you see him. I really enjoyed hearing a couple of the Traffic songs, All Along the Watchtower and Dave did a song he finished writing on behalf of Capaldi, who was writing it before he died. All of the years I've followed Dave and I never knew until recently that he played guitar on Hendrix's recorded version of Watchtower. And that original vinyl version with the multi-colored marble look drove dj's nuts because it was hard to distinguish where songs started. Fans brought that album for him to sign after the show. I was pleasantly surprised he did a signing after the show. I can't quite get use to the design of his guitar, it's really different looking.
As far as other covers, I've had a couple wild ideas, like covering a female band song...haha.. ok laugh...definitely put a different spin on it....my first choice...Bonnie Raitt's "Dangled and Dark", would show off Mark's bass playing; it's one of my favorite songs that Bonnie wrote.

Great song with lots of room for Joe to shine.
That is one of my all time fovorite albums. Joan Osborne does it on one of her recent releases.
