Traffic<\/strong>\u2019s Dave Mason<\/strong> is ready to share his story in the upcoming memoir <\/span>Only You Know and I Know<\/span><\/em>, but it may not have happened if it wasn\u2019t for his fans and his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Rock & Roll Hall of Famer tells ABC Audio he was \u201cbadgered\u201d into writing the book, noting that for a long time fans have been telling him he should write one.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd frankly, if it was up to me, you know, left to my own devices, I probably would never have done it since I’m (a) pretty private person,\u201d he shares. \u201cAnd then, of course, my wife got on my back, which was, that was the end of that.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mason\u00a0writes about all the artists he’s worked with over the years, including his Traffic bandmates,\u00a0The Rolling Stones<\/strong>, Paul McCartney\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Eric Clapton<\/strong>, but he notes that\u00a0the book is about more than the music.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the most part, I tried to write about a personal journey, a life\u2019s story,\u201d he says. \u201cIt just happens to have some major sort of highlights that … normally most people would never get to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The book also contains\u00a0essays\u00a0from\u00a0several of Mason’s friends and colleagues, and he says he was open to include whatever anybody\u00a0wanted to\u00a0write about him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWrite whatever you want is how I left it with everybody,\u201d he says. \u201cIf they want to say well it was great, and this was great, but he\u2019s a real a******, I mean, it would have been fine. It would of just lent a little more salt and pepper to the narrative.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only You Know and I Know<\/span><\/em> will be released Sept. 10. It’s\u00a0<\/span>available for preorder<\/span><\/a> now.<\/span><\/p>\n
