Yeah, Mason!,
This review is from: Mason Jennings (Audio CD)
I don't know who mentioned Mason to me, but I'm glad they did. Mason has easy guitar sequences, a nice easy pace, a lazy yawning voice, and lovely little lyrics that are perfect for a Sunday afternoon at the pool or the beach or laying around the house. He's creative w/his observations, but not overly complex. He really knows how to work the acoustic guitar to his advantage. The only problem I had was that I wanted more...his songs were short and left me all in a tizzy about missing California and wishing for the simple life...but that's why you'll go out and buy Birds Flying Away and Century Spring right afterwards. However, the first attempt is usually the best, and I'd have to agree that if you're looking for some acoustic ear candy w/deadpan brilliance to be compared to Beck in his early days, you'll dig this CD. Lucky Minnesota to have Mason running around their bars!

Thank You Mason,

This review is from: Mason Jennings (Audio CD)
Based on the above reviews and some sound snipits I listened to, I got Mason Jennings' first CD, self-titled, and his most recent release, "Use Your Voice." I listen to a lot of music, with an inclination for singer-songswriters and folk rock, and it's wonderful to unexpectedly discover someone this good who has so much music out already. It's unbelievable, and frankly unjust, that he isn't better known. I like the two CDs so much that I limit the amount of time I allow myself to listen to to them - I don't want them to get old! There's something so raw and real about Mason Jennings that these reordings make me think of the crackling old field recordings done by Alan Lomax of blues singers down in Mississippi: simple, stark, strikingly fresh and personal ... undiluted, uncontrived. Okay, I've run out of adjectives! Anyone who laments the quality of contemporary music (as I have) may want to reconsider their opinion. Where are the Dylans of today? Mason Jennings may provide you the answer.

Mason was around before Jack,
By The butterfly or the fireflies (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mason Jennings (Audio CD)
The reason I ended up here was because I saw Mason live twice between 1998 and 2000. I bought this self-titled CD at the first show, and then some jerk stole my collection recently. I have to buy back Mason Jennings - the only CD from the bunch that I've truly missed. If you ever get to see Mason live, do it!
