Minnesota is Jennings' ninth album and his most eclectic and possibly most introspective to date. The album is a diverse collage of sounds and poignant lyrics that take the listener on a personal journey with the acclaimed singer/songwriter. Mason played almost all of the instruments on the album, the one exception being 'Well Of Love,' a Perez Prado-esque number that features his friends in the Living Room, the side project of Jack Johnson drummer / percussionist Adam Topol. Friend Jason Schwartzman adds additional piano and background vocals on 'Raindrops.'
