Dave Mason has been making music since the 1960s, first in the band Traffic (which earned him a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), then as a solo artist, followed by a brief stint in Fleetwood Mac.

But he is back again doing his solo thing, this time performing a “Traffic Jam,” as he has labeled his latest tour. New and old fans can catch up with him Friday at the Revel Casino at 500 Boardwalk in Atlantic City.

For new fans, Mason is the guy who wrote “Feelin’ Alright,” “We Just Disagree,” “You Can All Join In” and “Hole in My Shoe” and also sang some Miller beer commercials. Today, he gets most of his radio airplay for “Only You Know and I Know” and his cover of Carole King’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.”

Old fans remember Mason for his guitar work on the Rolling Stones’ “Beggar’s Banquet,” George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass,” Paul McCartney’s “Listen to What the Man Said” and Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower” (that’s his acoustic guitar on the opening).

According to his website, Mason is releasing a new album early this year titled “Mixed Bag.” It will feature some new songs plus reworkings of old ones.

For the Revel show, expect an overview of his career, including the aforementioned Traffic songs, his solo hits and some new tunes.

Show time: 8 p.m. Tickets: $45 to $65. Information: 855-348-0500.
