"After forming his band in holyoke, Mass., in 1965, this roots-rock veteran, still based in Massachusetts, has been preforming simple, bar-chord ditties for the better part of the last three decades - and he does it all with little fanfare or pretension. Mason's Missyouville starts with the oldest blues riff in the book and quickly melts into a jazzy number that's as rough around the edges as the mans voice(half Neil Young, half Pat McLaughlin). In his entire body of work, meanwhile, Mason explores the possibilities of simplicity: just guitar rock songs with an occasional mandolin part or nice harmony here or there. Production valuesyou wont find; a musical kinship with artists like NRBQ and Jonathan Richman you will." -- Gambit Weekly
