Ray Mason has been making music for years. He started putting it into the hands of the public in the eighties with a string of cassette only releases that gained notoriety from western Massachusetts to Boston. And it really worked. I know, I was there. Call him a marketing guru if you will, but Ray Mason was "that guy who puts out great pop/rock cassettes," and lots of people knew it.
Luckily, Ray has continued making music and has moved on to CDs. The latest release from the Ray Mason Band is Three Dollar Man, a collection of catchy and gritty pop songs. Ray never seems to take himself too seriously when it comes to lyrics. Or maybe it's just that songs like "Reverb And A Zip Code," "You'll Never Play Here Again" and "I've Got A Good Dentist" are so joyously uncomplicated that all you can think about is how much they rock.
Three Dollar Man represents all that is fine about the self-sufficient artist. Good songs, a good band and lots of fun.
