Pretty much all of Mason Jennings records are slow, acoustic folk type of stuff. Well, he’s got a new album out called, “Blood of Man” which is his 8th studio album.
In this album, Mason rocked it up some more by making it a rock n’ roll record more than his usual acoustic music. He is still signed on to Jack Johnson’s record label, Brushfire Records, but when Mason submitted “Blood of Man” to the label, he was worried that the album was going to get rejected. The reason? Brushfire records is mostly a label that’s for mellow and slow type of stuff, it’s not really for rock records. Turns out the people at, Brushfire Records, loved Mason’s new album and confirmed it for release.
Mason also plans to tour in support of the new album. He will record these shows live but there are no plans for a Mason Jennings live album at this point.

Mason is one of my favorite singer/songwriters, I love the guy’s music. I hope he comes around here in the Albany area when he tours ’cause I would go see him if he does!
Looking forward to getting his new record! I listened to clips of it and there is electric guitar on it!
Now that I think of it, I’ll be able to collect the rest of his older albums from Itunes store which I will do soon.
Listen to Mason’s new song “Ain’t No Friend of Mine” with some rockin’ electric guitar in the video below!
