Dave Mason (Traffic)

#60srock #70srock #traffic #stevewinwood
On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and founding member of the legendary band Traffic, DAVE MASON talks about his sometimes-tumultuous tenure with the band, and how moving from England to the United States over fifty years ago introduced him to a slew of like-minded musicians from Gram Parsons to Cass Elliot. Mason also discusses his session work with Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney & Wings, George Harrison, and The Rolling Stones, as well as his songs “Feelin Alright”, “Only You Know And I Know” and “We Just Disagree”. Additionally Dave talks about his latest tour (including one particularly scary on-stage moment from a few years back), the state of radio in an online world, working with the King of Pop, and even a bit of politics gets thrown in the mix.

dave mason , what an incredible artist

[@ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST]

He sure is!

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Dave's comment about why he left traffic was partly due to the superficialness side of the entire music industry as well as who gets credit for this and that. Which is driven pretty much by the record companies and their executives.

Question: What do you think about that, you know about artists and musicians making political statements ? Answer:. I don't. Next question.

[@ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST]

I completely respect his stance on that. Like I said in the show, it's bad for business to potentially alienate half of your audience. That said, I also respect those who DO choose to voice their political opinions. That's what freedom is all about! Personal Choices.
