Pre-Order: Matt Mason - America's Favorite Pastime (Mod) (CD)

Matt Mason turns heartland country into something both rough-hewn and sharply crafted. Standouts like the barroom burn of "Liquor," the easy-rolling "Mason Jar," and the vividly drawn "Old Man Jones" showcase a songwriter with a knack for turning everyday stories into anthems. It's country music with dirt under it's nails and a poet's eye for detail.
