"Feelin' Alright?", also known as "Feeling Alright", is a song written by #DaveMason of the English #rock band #Traffic for their eponymous 1968 album #Traffic. It was also released as a single, and failed to chart on both the #UKSinglesChart and the US Billboard Hot 100, but it did reach a bubbling under position of No. 123 on the #BubblingUnderHot100. #JoeCocker performed a more popular rendition of the song on his 1969 album #WithALittleHelpFromMyFriends.

I once saw Crosby, Stills & Nash in Green Bay many years ago. They played a tribute to Jimmy Krueger, a Dave Mason band member, who had died young, by playing "We Just Disagree", which he co-wrote with Mason. Jimmy was from Manitowoc, WI & those of us who had lived there got to see him play in his brother's band quite often at the local watering hole. There was nary a dry eye in the arena that night. It's my favorite song.

Not How It’s Supposed to Be

Today is Earth Day. April 22, 2026. Happy Earth Day.

This morning when I got out of bed it was 31 degrees out and there was ice on the cars. I live in Massachusetts where Spring and Winter are the same thing. Again, Happy Earth Day.

Blah.

Dave Mason died. He was 79 years old. I’m not a big follower of his solo career but he spent a year or so as a member of the original lineup of Traffic and that’s enough to allow me to call myself a big fan.

Traffic’s first record was good. Mr Fantasy. It was weird and quirky but it was good. Their self-titled second record though… holy shit. That record is amazing from start to finish. Mason wrote “Feeling Alright?” which was covered by… everyone, and a massive hit for Joe Cocker. I prefer the original. It’s not funky like most of the covers. It’s mellower and a little bluesier and maybe… what’s the word I’m looking for… less self confident? Maybe? I don’t know. I just prefer the version on Traffic’s second record to any other version I’ve heard.

Chris Woods the sax/flute/anything else he could get his hands on founding member of Traffic died in 1983. Jim Capaldi the drummer/percussionist/sometime vocalist founding member of Traffic died in 2005. Dave Mason the guitarist/vocalist founding member of Traffic died in 2026. Steve Winwood the vocalist/keyboardist/guitarist/bassist/anything else he could get his hands on/living legend founding member of Traffic is now the only one left.

It is silly to be sad about a 79 year old musician whose career dates back to the mid-sixties passing away. I mean… everyone around his age is nearing their end. That’s just how life works, right? Still… it sucks to lose them. By all accounts, Mason was a good human… even if he and Steve Winwood didn’t get along so well (at least that’s what I always heard). It sucks to lose the good ones.

Maybe if the temperature wasn’t below freezing on this Earth Day morning I would feel a little better about it. Maybe I’d feel well enough to try to write a pun using the title of Feeling Alright… but I just don’t have it in me right now.
