By combining many musical elements, Mark Mathis successfully underscores the Americana-folk storytelling on his fourth CD, We Both Was Young. Whether it is the low-voiced David Byrne-esque styling on "Sharecropper Takes a Colored Wife" or the Johnny Cash-influenced upbeat rhythms on "Prenup," Mathis has created a fluid CD mixed with emotion and truth.
