Mason Jennings

Mason Jennings' debut for a major label doesn't stray far from his indie releases. It's full of sparingly arranged folk pop tunes highlighted by Jennings inviting mid-range vocals and evocative acoustic guitar. "Be Here Now" and "Some Say I'm Not" both fully embody his open spirit, while "Gentlest Hammer" has such a classic folk sound it could well have come from almost any decade in the past century.
