Rock mainstay Dave Mason, a Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer, is gearing up to release his memoir, titled Only You Know and I Know. This marks the first time a member of Traffic has penned a memoir, offering fans a glimpse into the band’s history. The book is set for release on September 10, 2024.
 
In Only You Know and I Know, Mason shares stories from recording sessions with acts such as The Rolling Stones on “Street Fighting Man” and Paul McCartney on “Listen to What the Man Said,” to his time spent in Fleetwood Mac and beyond.

Mason says:

I am thrilled to finally share my journey in Only You Know and I Know, offering fans a firsthand account of the incredible experiences and relationships that have shaped my life in music. This memoir is a testament to the power of rock ‘n’ roll and the enduring impact it has had on my career and personal life.
