The American folk singer has help from KT Tunstall for acoustic kicks in
his second single off If The Ocean Gets Rough.
The talented young New Yorker has made big headway in the UK recently and
teaming up with arguably one of the biggest folk acts in Britain is showing
that the 22 year old is headed in the right direction.
The song again justifies comparisons to Johnny Cash, as not only are Mason's
strong vocal talents highlighted, but also his musical knowledge in both
an addictive acoustic riff but also a fitting piano solo.
Indeed, KT Tunstall backing the chorus with "Oh we could be so strong, so strong"
is hardly noticed. However, it works. Everything about the track works and
fits together superbly; lyrically accurate and musically sound it highlights
just how acoustic folk music is getting so popular.
This is a track everyone should hear, whether you are into folk or not it is
one that you will definitely listen to again and again.
