07-08-2022 • 47 mins

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. ------------------------------------------------ ֎ For more on Dave Mason (including TOUR DATES): https://www.davemasonmusic.com/ ֎ Pre-Order Dave Mason's autobiography “Only You Know and I Know” (Due 2023) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1947026828 Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCFB7uJ3dg4IKSxsNny9Jiw/videos ● Audea.io - https://audea.io/ ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast Be sure to check out our all-new OFFICIAL IORR PODCAST STORE! https://www.cafepress.com/iorrpodcast © 2022 Howlaround Productions.
