Two Hangmen Mason Proffit Wanted
Video will open in a new window
[isdntekvideo]Mason Proffit was a hippie rural-rock group from Chicago, featuring brothers Terry & John Talbot. They are probably most well known for their FM radio classic "Two Hangmen" from this first album, "Wanted". It is a beautiful final collection copy with gorgeous gatefold cover! Fans of the late '60s Byrds & Buffalo Springfield should take notice... years so here they are!
By the mid-Sixties many artists, such as The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, had blended folk music with rock music to create the sub-genre known as rural folk & hippie-rock mixes. Mason Profitt fell into this category. The band was formed by brothers Terry and John Talbot.
Mason Proffit developed a bit of a following, with successful tours and sold-out concerts. They opened for The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin, among others. From 1969 to 1974 they released five albums. Despite this, and fair amount of underground radio airplay, the never had more than a cult following.
"Two Hangmen" was perhaps their biggest hit. To this day it still receives airplay on radio stations across the country. The appeal of the song is that it tells a story which can be interpreted on many levels. At its most basic level, "Two Hangmen" is a protest song. The song is ostensibly set in the Old West. The narrator rides into town on a horse. There is a reference to Tombstone (presumably, Tombstone, Arizona, where the gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place). There is also a reference to a Marshall (the profession commonly held by heroes in Westerns). Despite this, the lyrics would seem to be directed against the Vietnam War and perhaps other perceived injustices of the time. "Freak" speaks from his gallows, telling the folks of the injustices that he has seen. Sadly for Freak, the people do not wish to listen. This reflects the situation as perceived by many protesters in the late Sixties. For all their protests, many of them could not help but feel that the general populace did not want to hear what they had to say. Furthermore, many felt as if they were being condemned for their views; not condemned to death, as Freak was, but condemned nonetheless.
