DAVE MASON—Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and TRAFFIC co-founding member–has released his new album, Future’s Past today (5/13) on Something Music/MRI. It features new versions of his classic songs plus new material that MASON has written and performed on tour over the last few years. The first track off the album, “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” first premiered on USATODAY.com (4/11); listen here: http://tinyurl.com/nl3entb. Fans can purchase Future’s Past at www.davemasonmusic.com/albums/futures-past.
Of the new album release, MASON says, “There is a version of ‘World In Changes’ that is absolutely nothing like the original and there is a great live version that is absolutely beautiful of ‘Sad and Deep as You.’ There are two or three songs that were on a CD called 26 Letters 12 Notes that I did seven years ago, a Robert Johnson song, ‘Come On in My Kitchen’ and a brand new song called ‘That’s Freedom.’”
Renowned for such Traffic hits as “Feelin’ Alright” (covered by Joe Cocker) and “Hole In My Shoe” plus his solo signature tracks “We Just Disagree” and “Only You Know and I Know,” MASON’s acclaimed solo career continues to flourish as he tours the U.S. with his new project billed as “DAVE MASON’S TRAFFIC JAM.” DAVE is earning accolades on the road for the TRAFFIC JAM tour which kicked off January 3 in Atlantic City, NJ and will continue through the rest of the year with more TRAFFIC JAM dates to be announced soon. MASON has been touring and recording regularly since he co-founded Traffic in 1966, after which he went on to a successful and acclaimed solo career as well as recording and/or touring with artists including Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, George Harrison, Delaney & Bonnie, Graham Nash, Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Fleetwood Mac and more.
