Traffic’s Dave Mason is back with some new music.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is set to release his 21st studio album, A Shade of Blues, on March 21.
The 11-track album, which Mason’s been working on for over a decade, is described as a “blues-infused masterpiece” and features guest appearances by The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald, guitarist Joe Bonamassa, keyboardist Mike Finnigan and more.
“My guitar playing has always drawn from the blues,” Mason shares. “This album leans a little more heavily into that style, but not entirely—that’s why I call it A Shade of Blues.”
A Shade of Blues is available for preorder now.
The album is due out just as Mason will launch the new Let It Flow tour. The trek kicks off March 20 in Augusta, Georgia, and wraps April 5 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. A complete list of dates can be found at davemasonmusic.com.
