"This beauty became obscure soon after it was first released on LP. Less than 2 years after its release, it was deleted from Ampex Records catalog. I had just discovered Come and Gone, and wanted more, so you can imagine my delight when i stumbled across a lone copy in a cut-out bin in '74. This quickly became my favorite Proffit record, and it remains that to this day. In fact, it is one of the most prized CD's in my collection. This album has the best songwriting, just the right amount of production polish, and it packs an emotional wallop. It was the last truly honest effort before going in a more commercial direction with Rockfish Crossing and Bareback Rider."

"Anyone that enjoys Poco, Eagles or early Pure Prairie League will surely like this album. It's country rock with a more country touch. Not a bad song on the album!"
Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

"Mason Proffit was led by the Talbot brothers, a band that blended country and rock, like Poco from the same period, the late 1960s. The band had several great anti-war songs like "Two Hangman," "Eugene Pratt," "Hope," and "500 Men'" the last three on this album. The Talbot brothers' vocals were very harmonious. They recently released a new album, "Still Hangin" worth checking out."
Third Album now a CD

""Last night I had the Strangest Dream" was Mason Proffit's third album. The first two, "Wanted" and "Moving Toward Happiness" were reissued as "Come and Gone" As the third album this one is a little different than the first two. It is a little softer and the music a bit more laid back. Is this a criticism, No!,I really like this album and I ordered the CD version as soon as it was available. My point is that it is different than "Come and Gone." One thing I found true about this album is the more you listen to it the more that you appreciate the sound. It doesn't jump out and grab you the way their other albums seem to do. Their next, and last, two albums "RockFish Crossing" and "Bareback Rider" are more uptempo country and a little less folksy. "Last Night" is very antiwar and tells it's stories in a more traditional folk style. I know in the other reviews of this CD most people loved it and one person didn't care for it. This is a different form, somewhat, than Mason Proffit's other albums, but it is still worth owning and enjoying."
