In 2004, Mason was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of Traffic.
On Future's Past, Dave Mason, now nearly 68, is taking us back in time to revisit some of his classic tunes. And why not, because he not only takes us back, but he gives us new versions; interesting takes on his most classic moments. He is a true rock and roll icon looking back with his fans and letting loose with some fun music, tailor made for his biggest fans.
The album opens up with “Dear Mr. Fantasy”. He was just crossing into his twenties when Traffic recorded this classic, so hearing the tune mature with the man that recorded the song years ago is really something special. This is a version every bit as big and emotional as the original, but there is experienced guitar playing here…more mature playing and singing.. Fun, yet more laid back and cool from the 2014 Dave Mason.
