Hear who came first before The Eagles! If you like country-rock like Poco, The Eagles, Loggins and Messina, etc. you're bound to like these guys! Mason Proffit's 1st album from 1969. Some people say "As good as The Eagles". You be the judge. But it is really good music!
(From masonproffit.com)
In August of 1969 Mason Proffit released their first of five albums and changed the face of music forever. Mason Proffit’s hit songs, Two Hangmen, Eugene Pratt, and Better Find Jesus rallied fans throughout America. The band toured from 1969 to 1973 presenting an average of 250 concerts a year while recording 4 albums for the Warner Brothers label. They averaged 2,000 – 8,000 enthusiastic fans, 250 nights a year for five years, and in each venue they left audiences literally frenzied! It was not uncommon to see the crowd rise to their feet time and time again as each song would begin. And then, as the band left the stage, rock the house with ten minute cries for "more, more"!
Encoded @320 kbps from original vinyl record (Happy Tiger), includes CD ready artwork (cover - front and back and gatefold interior).
NOTE - I was not real happy with the quality of this recording. I tweaked it a little but it just sounds like it was badly recorded, too much gain or something. It's still very listenable - I just didn't like the results. In fact - I did it twice just to be sure it wasn't me going deaf!
Enjoy!

The only Mason Proffit album I have in my CD collection is 'Come & Gone', which includes this album and 11 more tracks. This is a worthy 'country' rock effort, and very early for that genre. Don't miss it!

One of Terry's best works is the religous musical "Firewind" on Sparrow Records, some of the songs he recorded solo on one of his early Sparrow disks "No Longer Alone"
John Michael Talbot at one time became a monk, and released a whole album of his spiritual music, which is probably the best work by either of the Talbots- As he recorded all the instruments himself.
Terry has a site called MasonProffit.com and he sells a few warez:

and John Michael has hos own site, just type his name "dot com" - JMT is apparently still involved in the catholic church.
