"Join Hands" by The Mason Rack Band is a tremendous bluesy folk rock CD with a modern consciousness. The songs rely on simplicity in the arrangements to effectively allow Mason's wonderful vocals to take center stage. His rich, intimate, and breathy at times delivery reminds us of Ben Harper and has a very enjoyable quality that made us want to keep coming back to this CD to listen again and again. The songwriting on the CD is excellent as well, with relevant lyrics and memorable choruses. Highlights include the title track "Join Hands," which encompasses everything about the band's sound and features some creative lyrics. "Dust" gets extra bluesy with the vocals and some nice guitar progressions. "Friends" wraps things up in a big way with screeching vocals and an intense build. If you enjoy modern singer songwriters such as Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, you'll love this outstanding CD.
