Mason Proffit

One of my favorite bands of all time was a little known band called Mason Proffit. I really didn't discover them until about the time they were disbanding. I did get to see John and Terry Talbot in concert around '75. They played a few of their old stuff, but mostly new. It was good, but I was disappointed.

Here is a listing of their recordings. I can't find alot about them on the net but did find some old reviews here , apparently a couple of other people feel the same way I did.

I have all of there stuff on LP's, lot a good it does me since I don't have a turn table..but I'm not giving them up. I see a couple of them with a current bid on Amazon of $35.

Anyway..if you ever get a chance, listen to Eugene Pratt and Two Hangmen.

I've still got that first MP album on vinyl (and I still have a turntable, so I can still give it a spin). It's clearly a period piece, but it's from a period I rather liked.

And now we're two hangmen hangin' from a tree
That don't bother me at all....

I'm a Terry Talbot fan from way back (John to a lesser extent). Have the double CD, "The Talbot Brothers Collection". It's mostly after Mason Proffit (only one song from that group if I recall correctly), but I enjoy (dig? Can I say dig?) a lot of the earlier stuff in this collection.

I am looking for the lyrics to the Mason Proffit song Eugene Pratt and I can't find them anywhere - if anyone can help me out it would be a huge help. bveats@uoguelph.ca

My dad has all the Mason Proffit vinyls and passed them onto me. And they're great. I cannot find lyrics except for "Two Hangmen" and "Voice of change"
