Mason Jennings' "Century Spring" was an impressive recording. "Boneclouds" is a good set. Jennings' voice is thin, which probably precludes his doing a set of cover tunes. But given his vocal idiosyncrasies, the material on this set rises above the usual. On "Some Say I'm Not" Jennings talk sings overlaid with a funky percussion and cymbals in an unusual but excellent track, "I've been to Egypt, I've been to Rome, I was a young man when I left my home, Looking for something I couldn't find, Now I'm back where I started, it was here all the time." His wife Amy joins him with subtle background vocals on "Moon Sailing on the Water." "Which Way Your Heart Will Go" is an acoustic love song that is gentle with Mason's fragile vocals, "Where would I be right now if all my dreams had come true? Deep down I know somehow I'd have never seen your face; this world would be a different place." "Be Here Now" that opens the CD has a melody that labors gently with Jennings' sincere vocals making an emotional connection, "All the doubts that linger, just set them free & let good things happen, let the future come into each moment like a rising sun." "Gentlest Hammer" is also a distinctive track with David King's original percussion. "Boneclouds," recorded in Minnesota, is a good set offers some sonic jewels. Enjoy!
