Old Crest on a New Wave is a studio album by the English musician, singer-songwriter, and guitarist Dave Mason.[1] The album includes background vocals by Michael Jackson on "Save Me", which peaked at No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 70 on the Billboard R&B singles chart.
Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "Mason has been retooling pretty much the same tunes and guitar riffs since his first solo album, Alone Together, came out a decade ago."[2] The Boston Globe determined that "Mason's pleasant formula of middle of the road rockers, usually containing a stinging guitar break, hasn't changed since his landmark Alone Together solo debut 10 years ago."[3]
