Music reviews of In the Ever
Music Review: More effortless folk pop from underrated singer/songwriter
Rating: 4 Stars
How does Mason Jennings do it? More specifically how does he deliver album after album of catchy, introspective, emotionally lived in folk songs that make you want to sing along even as they evoke strong emotions without ever resorting to cheap sentimentality? The answer is that he is a superbly gifted singer/songwriter who has been flying under the radar ever since his self titled debut album over a decade ago.
On his latest release, Mason once again delivers the goods. The songs are melodic and simple and can get stuck in your head for days. Lyrically, Jennings touches on themes he has visited before, love, faith, spiritual yearning and the need for human connection. He even tosses in some humor this time around with "Your New Man", a song in which he ponders how to win his ex back from her new love interest.
While this album is not as strong as his last two efforts, "Use Your Voice" and "Boneclouds", it is nevertheless an essential addition to his catalog. Jack Johnson may be surfing the wave of mainstream popularity these days, but it's Mason Jennings who, despite living in his shadow, is building a lasting and meaningful collection of popular music that will stand the test of time.
Description of In the Ever
2008 album from the American singer/songwriter and his first release on Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records label. Mason Jennings is one of the best-kept secrets in Pop music. In his adopted home of Minneapolis his shows draw 3,000 fans. He was hand-picked by music supervisor Randall Poster to perform two Dylan songs in Todd Haynes' acclaimed I'm Not There, both on the soundtrack album, and lip-synched by Christian Bale in the movie. Jennings retreated to a studio in the woods, where he set himself up with a laptop and two microphones. In the Ever continues Jennings' spiritual journey, informed by his love of influences like Leadbelly, Mississippi John Hurt, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash's American recordings and Led Zeppelin, his favorite band of all time.General CDs
