|  |  |  |  |  |  | | | | | | Bio of the Artist | His latest offering, Naturally, features five tracks co-written and produced by Jay Lyons of Napoleon Productions in New York City. Lyons offered true perspective on Mason’s career when he said, “Be the crooner you are.” His crooning shines on songs like the emotionally charged “Take Me As I Am,” the album’s smoky opener. The Latin-tinged “Sunny” is a moving tribute to his late father, who died of cancer in 2007. On this album of heartache and love, Mason’s emotional vocal takes center stage, just as it should.
In fact, that’s where you’ll find him at his finest—fronting a full band that lifts off and carries his voice across the audience with fire and passion. And the audience, suddenly aboard without the least bit of resistance, soars too—over the dessert, the mountains, the ocean—carried along by the voice of a rising balladeer. | | |
