Mason Williams gets little love these days & few even remember his 1967 #2 smash hit "Classical Gas." Most of his albums are fun, beautifully recorded & played, often whimsical, always humble and even at times insightful.

Written by Texan poet and TV comedian Mason Williams, who (reportedly) played this on a clear-plastic guitar filled with water and goldfish... CLASSICAL GAS.

Classical Gas—Mason Williams
The former Smothers Brothers comedy writer turned hit-maker delivers! It’s complicated, but in a fun way, and it always makes me feel happy.
Plus, the CLONES!
