CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com With Use Your Voice, Mason Jennings turns in what is easily his finest CD to date, an understated masterpiece of sensitive songwriting, minimalist production, and wonderful folk grooves. The vibe on this disc is heartfelt and intimate, but--as lead track "Crown" reveals--Jennings never succumbs to earnestness or folk-rock cliches. Instead, he captures the essence of vintage, pre-electric Dylan with poetic and timeless ballads about love and loss. Though Jennings is often compared to Jack Johnson, his bluesy songwriting and infectious rhythms on this fine disc are thoroughly unique. As his tunes move from funky ("Empire Builder," "Keepin' It Real") to somber ("Fourteen Pictures," "Ballad of Paul and Sheila"), he sounds soulful, not affected. All told, Use Your Voice is a great disc, and a fine introduction to this ascending talent. --Jason Verlinde Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsWoah man sailnlax | cleveland | 06/08/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "well i'm no music fanatic. don't really listen to any music not mainstream either with the exception of some underground rap. i heard the song butterfly on a ski video and thought it was the coolest song ever. i went here, listened to a few more songs, and went out and bought the cd. i now love this type of music, and recommend everyone to listen to this. i told my friends about it and they loved it. so we listen to it all the time now. made me realize how much music is out there that i've never heard or known about." Evokes an endless array of private feelings Darcy Dali | NYC | 04/13/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I believe Mason Jennings falls into that understated category of singer-songwriters similiar to Elliott Smith, Jason Stricklin or Paul Curerri. Music which covers an emotional palette of colors. This music evokes an endless array of private feelings. It deserves to be heralded along with Ryan Adams and Jack Johnson, but perhaps that understatement adds to the charm and coolness in this overrated, corporate radio world." Songs that are emotions sorenconrad | Good old Wisconsin | 04/14/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Use your Voice is a colloction of songs that show how Mason has developed so much in his musical style, yet it is an album much closer to his first sounds then his last few efforts.The ablility to tell personal stories of one person's life, yet do it in a way that everyone that listens can relate it to theirs is a talent that only a handful of people can do. Mason does it bueatifully here.This is a album that anyone that enjoys laid back, acuastic story telling can enjoy. If anything about what people say about this album has peaked your interest, even a little bit, then you owe it to your self to give this album a shot."
