Listener - Nick Bollinger "Good Sense"

"Wayne Mason's album is full of hits waiting to be heard"

 

 The land has always been a looming presence in the songs of Wayne Mason. Just think of "Nature" the hit he wrote nearly 40 years ago for his teenage band The Fourmyula, enshrined in the "Nature's Best" series as this country's most loved anthem, with its images of trees and fallen leaves.

 

 

Sense Got Out - Waikato Times

"...12 masterpieces on the peculiarities of love" (Five stars)

 

 

In 1962 Wayne Mason formed his first band the Southern Auroras with school friends in Upper Hutt. Since then he's become best known for the creative musical input he has brought to The Warratahs, Rockinghorse and The Fourmyula. Indeed his best known tune, Nature, recorded with The Fourmyula in 1969 was voted a few years back as New Zealand's best loved song.

 

 

Sense Got Out - Graham Reid

"...another catalogue of rare songs by one of our finest songwriters" 

 

 

Singer-songwriter Wayne Mason may be best (and in some circles only) known as the guy who wrote the Kiwi classic Nature for the Fourmyula (later covered by the Mutton Birds) -- but that was almost four decades ago and he has spent the intervening period crafting equally excellent material for the Warratahs (until '94), and now delivers them on a trickle of solo albums of which this is only the third in 12 years.

'Sense Got Out' Album cover

"Waynes new album grabbed me from the first listen...all the magic of those great Wayne Mason songs is still there and even more honed...a great album for 2008." Roger Marbeck - Ode Records

 

"I absolutely love the new Wayne Mason album and his band just truly kick arse. One of the most powerful bands to back anyone. They truly deserve their name 'the Fallen Angels" reminiscent of another great singer Gram Parsons and the Grevious Angels" Shady, Americana Show, www.radioactive.fm
