The songwriting partnership of Mason.Jones began in Nashville in 1988, born from a handshake and a shared love of Southern storytelling.
Rodger Mason (also known as Mason Rodgers) had recently arrived in Music City from Florida, where he had been recruited to play with Chris Anderson of the Outlaws.
