Roger Mason's "French Blues" is a heart felt tribute to the legacy of American folk guitar. It's as if Hemingway played the blues instead of the typewriter and brought his acute nuances and delicate ornaments to this noble genre as only an expat in Paris could understand. Throughout this unique compilation of Cajun, Folk, Blues and Jazz solo guitar styles, Mason takes us on a journey of sounds that echo throughout the neighborhoods, dance halls, and lonely hotel rooms of where these diverse roots of American music originated. Roger Mason skillfully weaves us into the body of his guitar as his virtuosity resonates the soul of the blues. Sit back and enjoy the vintage. Michael Doucet. Beausoleil. Mason is the man who has done more than any other to popularize Cajun music in France. His guitar picking would warm any heart in South Lousiana. Hearing Mason is the next best thing to sitting on the bayou with a plate of boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Thomas A. Sancton. New Orleans Times Picayune.
