Daniel Martin Moore Discography of CDs

Daniel Martin Moore CD discography Performed by two Kentucky natives and produced by Southern rock crusader Jim James, Dear Companion is a warm, acoustic tribute to the American South. "Whether days are bright or sorrow-filled, we'll find our comfort in these hills," Daniel Martin Moore sings during the final track, wrapping up an 11-song set list filled with Appalachian mountain music and earthy singer/songwriter fare. Having already released an album of his own, Moore may be a more established performer than Ben Sollee, a classically trained cellist best-known for his stint with the multi-cultural folk band Sparrow Quartet. The two take strength in numbers, however, and Dear Companion explores everything from minimalist folk ("Flyrock Blues," a Moore solo piece that could double as a Nick Drake B-side) to acoustic/orchestral combos (Sollee's "Sweet Marie," whose sweeping bridge makes room for violin, tuba, and clarinet). Jim James also plays an active role throughout, often going beyond his production duties by singing harmonies or playing a number of string instruments. Most of the resulting songs are too smooth and stately to recall a bygone era -- Dear Companion is more Avett Brothers than Stanley Brothers, perhaps -- but the album still pays homage to the musicians' home turf, often with gorgeous results. ~ Andrew Leahey Audio Mixer: Duane Lundy.

The songs may be quick -- there are 11 here, all of them sandwiched into a lean 30 minutes -- but Moore delivers each one leisurely, rarely moving beyond the relaxed pace of a Sunday afternoon driver. A handful of friends join him in the process, including cellist Ben Sollee, who previously teamed up with Moore on the collaborative Dear ...

Daniel Martin Moore albums The debut album by Kentucky-based singer-songwriter Daniel Martin Moore is a lovely, quiet slice of alt-folk based primarily on Moore's vocals and acoustic guitar. Producer Joe Chiccarelli adds other instruments sparingly but effectively on tracks like "That'll Be The Plan," but for most of the record, Moore's gentle guitar and near-whispered voice are the only elements, which makes for a compellingly intimate listen. The effect at ...
