Il faut absolument que je dise un mot sur ce type qui est l'un des meilleurs rockers de la planète.
Il l'a traversera sans bruit pour le grand public et pourtant ...
Courrez écouter ses cds, le voir sur scène (ce sera plus difficile), ce type fait parti du haut de la mêlée de ce qui se fait en Rock teinté de Blues
Mason combine des paroles provocantes avec de la super musique.
Mason a réalisé 6 albums. Il a enregistré et joué avec des gens comme Bob Dylan , Daniel Lanois , U2, Jimmy Page, Ringo Starr, Crosby, Stills and Nash
Carlos Santana a repris une de ses compositions "Angel Love" et le recoit souvent comme guest guitariste dans ses concerts.
Tous sont très élogieux a son égard. Bob Dylan est probablement son plus grand fan ( avec moi) :
"Ft. Worth guitarist and singer Mason Ruffner played in Bourbon Street clubs like the Old Absinthe Bar. He was a regional star, had a high pompadour, a gold tooth smile with a tiny guitar inlaid. He had a few records out and some explosive licks with funky edges, rockabilly tremolo-influenced, wrote songs, too, said that he'd hung around libraries reading Rimbaud and Baudelaire to get his language down. He also told me that as a teenager he had played with Memphis Slim. I thought I had something in common with him there. I'd played with Big Joe Williams when I was coming up. Mason had some fine songs. One of them had the line, "You do good things for people and it just makes them bad."
I would have thought about recording it if I didn't have my own originals.»
Bob Dylan (From the book "Chronicles Vol. 1" by Bob Dylan)
