Singer-songwriter and Nashville resident Mason Lee recently released his debut EP, Something That You Know. Something That You Know includes seven tracks - all written or co-written by Lee alongside Dan Fernandez, Jake Anderson, and Carly Tefft - that introduce us to a young artist who has a natural ability to pen songs that possess strength in both lyrics and melody. Whether it’s his current single “Already Gone,” the gentle ballad “Something Good” or the guitar-fueled, rockin’ “Someone to Fill My Bed” which describes a changed man who wants more than a one-night stand, the songs, brought to life by Lee’s emotive and earnest vocals, have the ability to connect with the listener...a connection that continues on the three stellar and impactful tracks that round out the EP. They include the heartwarming “These Two Hands” a song of appreciation to specific people and things who support him, “Further Down The Line” a rootsy blend of rock and country which brings to mind the wonderful Sean McConnell and the closer, “Outlaw State of Mind.” Sonically recalling his Texas roots, the song, with its driving percussive beat and fiddle, is an extremely well told, gritty narrative that keeps your ears glued to a story whose ending may surprise you. “I said preacher I’ve been on the run got nowhere left to go/I’ve been making my way from New Orleans on down to Mexico/These rangers have been on my trail they all want me dead/They shoot to kill cause they all want that bounty on my head.” Something That You Know is the satisfying debut of an artist who is surely bound for “something good.” Pick up a copy, tell your friends and spread the word.
