A couple of years ago, Mike Robertson's old band Miracle Of 86 was performing at a Jersey Beat benefit at Luxx, and played an early version of the song that would become "Beat Me In A Race" on this demo. Robertson was the lead guitarist and sideman of Miracle Of 86, the guy who'd get to sing one song per set; Kevin Devine, the red-headed lead singer, got most of the attention in that band. But I remember Tris McCall leaning over to me after "Beat Me In A Race," pointing to Robertson, and saying, "That's the guy to watch in this band." While Kevin's solo career has been nothing to sneeze at, Mason Dixon has certainly vindicated Tris' prediction; over the last few years, the group has solidified from Robertson's solo project into a confident and powerful band that's become one of my favorites. Devine enchants his audiences with a boyish Conor Oberst-like quavering intensity; Robertson, as frontman of Mason Dixon, sings in a restrained baritone, with a commanding presence that's part Johnny Cash, part Springsteen's Nebraska. By drawing from blues and folk tropes almost exclusively, Robertson's songwriting also seems grounded in something that's both fresh and traditional. This new demo (somebody sign this band already and get a full-length out!) features "Soft & Swollen Summer," an innocent, romantic love song; the aforementioned "Beat Me In A Race," a deliciously self-deprecating pop tune in which Robertson competes with another potential beau by making a fool of himself (spieling off state capitals and getting them all wrong, bragging about his guitar prowess with a super-simple C-F-G chord progression.) "Oh, Somethin" is a showcase for keyboardist Lindsay Sullivan, whose cuddly female vocals add a warm counterpoint to Robertson's steely presence. "You Can't Get There From Here" finishes things up with a bare-bones arrangement that showcases Robertson's lyrical ingenuity, Lindsay's ingratiating harmony vocals, and the band's penchant for straightforward pop songs. Remember the name and check this band out before they're too famous to see in small clubs anymore. Jim Testa - Jersey Beat Magazine
