About this album

Hold On is a strong, rootsy album from Carolyne Mas, balancing rock drive with blues grit and folk storytelling. Released in 1980, it followed the New York singer-songwriter’s early run of acclaimed records and showed her sharpening a style that could be tough, witty and emotionally direct at once. Songs such as “Stay True” and “You Cannot Win If You Don't Play” underline her gift for plainspoken hooks and characterful writing, while the album’s mix of bar-band energy and confessional detail gives it real bite. It remains a key statement from one of the more distinctive voices to emerge from the late-1970s singer-songwriter scene.
