Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Dave Mason has died at the age of 79.
According to a statement provided on behalf of his family, Mason “passed away peacefully at his home in Gardnerville, Nevada” on April 19. The statement noted he “lived a remarkable life devoted to the music and the people he loved.”
Mason is best known as one of the founding members of the band Traffic, which he formed in April 1967 with Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood and Chris Wood. They released their debut album, Mr. Fantasy, that year, which was a hit with critics and contained one of their signature tunes, “Dear Mr. Fantasy.”
The self-titled follow-up, released in 1968, featured the huge hit “Feelin’ Alright?,” which Mason wrote. The song has gone on to be covered by a variety of artists, most notably Joe Cocker, who left off the question mark in the title and made it a hit.
Mason had a rocky tenure with Traffic, leaving the group following the release of Mr. Fantasy due to artistic differences, only to rejoin during the recording of their self-titled sophomore album. He then left again after that album’s release. He briefly returned for a third time, touring with them in 1971 — but he only performed six shows, including the show featured on the live album, Welcome to the Canteen.
While promoting his 2024 memoir, Only You Know and I Know, Mason told ABC Audio that all the drama in the band led to them making great music.
“What made the band great? Unfortunately, you know, differences combine to form beauty and so the differences are what made things great, but the differences unfortunately drove it apart,” he said.
Mason was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the group in 2004, although Winwood and Capaldi performed “Dear Mr. Fantasy” without him. He did join in for the all-star jam on “Feelin’ Alright?,” which also featured Keith Richards, Tom Petty and others.
Outside of Traffic, Mason had a successful career as a session musician and appeared on such well-known albums as Jim Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland, George Harrison’s All Things Must Past, Paul McCartney and Wings’ Venus and Mars, and The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet. He also did a brief stint as guitarist in Fleetwood Mac in the ’90s after both Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks left the group.
Mason had a somewhat successful solo career, releasing 15 albums. His last album was 2025’s A Shade of Blues. His biggest solo hit was 1977’s “We Just Disagree,” which he wrote. The tune, which appeared on his album Let it Flow, peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. He also wrote and recorded the tune “Only You Know and I Know,” which was a Hot 100 hit for him, and went on to be a top-20 hit for Delaney & Bonnie.
In September of 2025, after 60 years in the music business, Mason announced that he was retiring from touring due to “on going health challenges.” The prior year, in September 2024, he canceled a tour due to an urgent heart condition.

That's the last stanza -- the song was titled "You Never Even called Me by my name...." Memory is overrated...
And was written by Steve Goodman...I just butchered that one. But he did release it and I loved it...

David Allan Coe was a bit of an odd duck, but he was a great singer AND a great songwriter.
He also wrote "Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)", a song Tanya Tucker recorded just a few months after turning 15 years old. It was certainly perceived as an "adult" lyric, generating quite a bit of pushback from various directions.
Oddly enough, Coe may or may not have intended the song to be interpreted the way the majority of public — and the industry — interpreted it. Either way, it certainly went a long way toward establishing Tanya as someone who wasn't afraid to push the envelope.
If just half the stories I have heard about Tanya Tucker are true, she had probably "been around the block" a time or two by then. Maybe even "outside the city limits."
The above may not have needed the blue font, but just in case ...

David Allen Coe WROTE “Take This Job and Shove It”….that is associated with Johnny Paycheck
He did NOT write “You Never Even Call Me By Name” (the late Steve Goodman did), but it IS his signature song.
Of course, John Denver did not write “Take Me Home Country Roads”, and the author had never set foot in West Virginia, either, but it’s an art. Throw in Skynyrd’s best known song was written by Florida boys and it’s all a big game.
