    In the end, Jennings' truthfulness more than makes up for Minnesota's minor setbacks.

    There are a few missteps here and there, most notably on the plodding "Witches Dream," and drum-heavy "Well of Love," neither of which fit well on this otherwise strong release.

    Jennings' songwriting is at its best in Minnesota when reflecting this troubling sense of uncertainty and contradiction.

    I have been a big Mason Jennings fan for years, but not this album. I can't really place it but somehow it comes up a bit short. Its just kind of a bummer to listen to.… Expand
