Dave Mason first gained fame as a founding member of Traffic, but went on to a successful solo career in the 1970s with such hits as as "We Just Disagree." In 2008 the veteran singer and songwriter was still going strong with 26 LETTERS, 12 NOTES, his first album of new material in over 20 years (though he'd kept up an active performance schedule). It's full of earthy, good-time rock & roll, overflowing with tasty, bluesy guitar licks, soulful vocals, and touches of everything from funk to zydeco.
