Ray Mason Band

"The utter disregard Mason shows for modern boundary lines in popular music is refreshing, to say the least, and invigorating, to more properly identify it. He does mix it up in ways The Band liked to do it. In fact, the title song boasts the most Band-like chorus section of anything done in a long time. Part of what NRBQ fans live about their band is the skill under all that seeming nonchalance and disregard for polish. the Ray Mason Band exhibits that same kind of skill under that same kind of rootsy R&B. but there's nothing here a younger soul wouldn't enjoy just as much."
-Martin Fullington, Music Reviews Quarterly

"Well-strummed singalong music that reels on the right side of melancholy."
-Happenstance, London

"Overflowing with excellent pop songs -- no wallpaper here!"
-Puncture, San Francisco

"While current jam bands strive to recreate the lightness and looseness of 1960's rock, Ray Mason, who has been performing for 30 years, comes by it naturally. His genial songs have touches of bluegrass, folk-rock and blues, with the charm of the Holy Modal Rounders..."
-Jon Pareles, N.Y. Times

"A hook-filled kick from start to finish. Short on frills but packed with melody and sharp, witty lyrical fare. The big question after hearing him is how the guy managed to stay a best-kept secret for so long. The Ray Mason Band weaves pop magic."
-Kevin O'Hare, Union News
