14 that dig in a lot of different and very cool places resulting in a
treasure that is hard to describe beyond the simple statement "this is
really, really good material!". Well, think some upbeat Luna, some early
REM, Throwing Muses, some new wave pop circa 1981, Travelin' Wilburys/Tom
Petty-cum-ELO, Mott The Hoople/Stones("Class Action"), My Morning Jacket and
Ass Ponys and, well you hopefully get the idea, it's not going to be easily
classifiable! That is a very good thing here, too. Let You Down Easy
features appearances by Don Sanders (Medicine Ball), Dave Narcizo (Throwing
Muses), Jeffrey Underhill (Velvet Crush), Eric Fontana, Sarah Lupo, and
other Rhode Island musicians. " Boasting an uncanny ability to craft a
song which actually contains a melody line that's not only catchy but also
creative, The Mason's core member and benevolent svengali Kraig Jordan, had
a hand in writing each of the disc's fourteen tracks. To label these tracks
as eclectic would win you the 2007 Understatement of the Year Award. There's
something from all corners of the band's influence crate, which they pull
off with varying degrees of effectiveness from song to song. I can hear
everyone from Marc Bolan to Mark Knopfler on this record, all the while
demonstrating an adept understanding of the elusive writing/recording/studio
process. Perusing around the tracks is like taking an audible history lesson
through the changing, varying styles that made up the rock & roll era.. The
result is a creative and somewhat unorthodox project that is all about the
song.-Motif Magazine. Very Highly Recommended.
