Jae Mason Rackord Appreciation

edited September 2005 in Strut Central


Anybody else loving this dude and his rackords?

I had the "Tender Man" LP for a while and played it out quite a bit before I grabbed his other LP "Crossroads" this weekend.

Dudes in that same Terry Callier, Lou Bond, Curtis Mayfield vein and dresses like a redneck.

I need to put some MP3's up to display dudes realness

I never hear cats talk on this guy, am I alone in my love of music?



























BTW I do celebrate his entire catalogue

    Jae Mason is the man. I have doubles of "Tender Man". If anyone wants to trade it for a copy of that "Crossroad" lp , I'm down.

    Cross Roads is the one I have. Wanted to like it, but wasn't really feeling it 'cept for the heartbreaking "Lady Pearl," about a mother who abandons her children. Haven't heard Tender Man yet.

    Jae supposedly had a third album, on VJ International - I believe that this, too, was from the 70's (Vee Jay was briefly revived, releasing new material).

    As long as you're in that bag, don't sleep on Charles Bevel, who had a classic album on A&M in 1973 (featuring the minor hit "Sally B. White").

    I did a Google search on Jae some time ago - I was devastated to find out that he died.

    He never became a star, but he was respected by his peers (I understand he spent his last years as a professional songwriter in Nashville.)

    Hey Guzzo,

    Remember, a while back when I propped "Crossroads"? I try to drop gems on cats "but they ain't listenin'...". Messing with you, but I make mention of quite a few LPs, get fronted on (i.e., receive no response whatsoever), only for other cats to prop the same album later. I find that weird. Babble over.

    Peace,

    oh man, sorry had I remembered seeing that I'd have jumped in gushing about dude. I think it was AP who turned me onto this artist. I found a copy of Tender Man while going through some crates with Anthony and he said I might like this, sure enough I did.

    Just found crossroads a few days back and I like it just as much. I'm guessing cats are skipping over the album cause he looks like the love child of Charley Pride & John Legend

    Hey Guzz,



    I'm tryin' to tell you, cats sleep on the Stacks. I slip in the gems under the radar cause dudes aren't checkin' for 'em.

    I really like "Monday Morning" off that one. Makes me glad I'm not working.

    As long as you're in that bag, don't sleep on Charles Bevel, who had a classic album on A&M in 1973 (featuring the minor hit "Sally B. White").

    Never really got into that one aside from "Overheard." He just seems a little earnest.

    A friend of mine described him as a bitter Bill Withers.
