Jennings explains, “I hadn’t written any songs in about a year. I had been dealing with the psychological after effects of the pandemic as well as the loss of my dad. So, when Western was born I didn’t expect to be writing much. But immediately he was responding to music in a very intense way. For this album, between May and November 2022, I wrote 48 songs! They certainly uplifted me and connected me with the creative spirit, and spirit in general, again. They cover all kinds of ground but, when I listen back, I think the central theme is overcoming fear with love.”Jennings also released a video for, “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh-0oVTuLaQ">No Ordinary Friend</a>,” which he explains, “Depicts two of the most important decisions a person can make. One, whether or not they believe in a loving higher power and two, who they decide to choose as a life long romantic partner. This song is referring to both of those and the choices I’ve made.”"Stone Gossard and Regan Hagar from Loosegroove Records helped me edit the 48 down to 11. I then enlisted the help of my Painted Shield bandmates to record the songs.”&nbsp;Jennings and Gossard are ongoing collaborators in the band Painted Shield, who released their 2021 debut album on Loosegroove, the influential indie label that Gossard founded back in 1994 issued records from acts such as Critters Buggin, Malfunkshun, Weapon of Choice and Devilhead, and was the launching point for Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album in 1998.&nbsp;Jenning’s previous album ‘Real Heart’ came out in January 2022 and received Triple/Non-comm radio across KCMP Minneapolis, WFPK Louisville, WPYA Birmingham, KRCL Salt Lake City, WMMM Madison, WQKL Ann Arbor, KCSN LA, KRVB Boise, WCLZ Portland, WDSE Duluth, WRLT Nashville, WXPN Philly, WXRV Boston, &amp; WZEW Mobile.&nbsp;&nbsp;Press highlights include:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://americansongwriter.com/mason-jennings-shares-his-life-on-new-lp-real-heart/">American Songwriter</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://relix.com/blogs/detail/mason-jennings-shares-video-from-forthcoming-album-real-heart/">Relix</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nodepression.com/album-reviews/album-review-mason-jennings-reconnects-with-real-heart/">No Depression</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/mason-jennings-announces-new-album-real-heart-out-february-4th">Grateful Web</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://takeeffectreviews.com/may-2022-2/2022/5/15/mason-jennings">Take Effect 9/10 review</a>, &amp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://jambands.com/features/2022/05/29/mason-jennings-drinking-the-ocean/">Jam Bands</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Jennings adds “I called it&nbsp;Underneath The Roses&nbsp;because I feel like these songs are musical roses and when I look below them there are many thorns and so much dirt and soil. All of it was needed for them to come into existence and bloom. It’s been a long hard road of self-discovery and discernment for me the last few years and the roses wouldn’t be here without what lies underneath. Hope you enjoy the music!”&nbsp;
