Mason Proffit was a folk rock band from Chicago, Illinois that released five albums between 1969 and 1973. Brothers Terry Talbot and John Michael Talbot played together in several local bands around Indianapolis, Indiana and later in Chicago. After their group Sounds Unlimited disbanded, in 1969 they formed Mason Proffit with a focus on the emerging blend of folk, country and rock that would come to be called country rock. Older brother Terry's "Two Hangmen" from their first album Wanted..., became a regional hit and helped their second album, Movin' Toward Happiness, chart on the Billboard 200. In 1972, the band signed to Warner Bros. Records and continued touring, performing up to 300 concerts each year. Some of Mason Proffit's opening acts during that time included The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, John Denver, and Mac Davis. Their country-rock-bluegrass style was innovative yet difficult to place in a marketing genre. Their live shows were high energy. Mason Proffit disbanded in 1973 when brothers John and Terry Talbot left the band and began performing as a duo. 01 - Voice of Change 02 - A Rectangle Picture 03 - You Finally Found Your Love 04 - Sweet Lady Love 05 - Stewball 06 - Two Hangmen 07 - Buffalo 08 - Walk On Down The Road 09 - Its All right 10 - Till The Sun Goes Down 11 - Johnnys Tune LINK
