Cherred press sheet: Over the last 40 years, the legendary R Stevie Moore (son of Nashville s veteran bass session man Bob) has dedicated his life to the crafting of hundreds of home recorded albums and sound diaries, most of which have been released on his own self-run label. His mastery of song craft, combined with an impressive ear for production and an unmatchable work rate, have resulted in a good degree of underground recognition, although mainstream success has managed to consistently elude him until now. Covering everything from Psych-Pop to Hip Hop, Spoken Word to Found Sound, his oeuvre is as beguiling as it is intriguing, making him both a much loved Lo-Fi figurehead (receiving high praise from artists and press alike) and a significant contributor to the untold history of recorded music. This comprehensive release, compiled in collaboration with Stevie himself, provides a fascinating introduction to the most accessible areas of his early work, covering material recorded between 1974 and 1986. Far from a complete overview or Best Of (an impossible task given the size of his repertoire), it's best viewed as a gateway into a vast, freeform world of music for music's sake a place where freedom roams, one man is king and just about anything can happen, provided it can be caught on tape.

I am R. Stevie Moore, the one you've heard or read about. I can feel sixteen or thirty six, incidentally. I am your first commonplace Southern original composer. I also delve into about fifty other arts & crafts. I appear somewhat just out of high school full of ambition. I let my music contain that awkward innocence, as well. I really can't do anything about my tendencies, except grow older. I have always been a prisoner of viewing life and philosophy from Tennessee. I am a Sixties child, always enthralled with the show business of rock 'n roll. I was never close enough to touch it. I have listened to more records than anyone in the world. I have liked almost all of it. I write a lot of songs over random-played drum tracks. I want to befriend all of my rock heroes. I shall make some great records if you encourage me enough. I believe I'm making you an offer here. I might remind you of somebody, maybe your brother. I come to your town in peaceful artistic form, with great expectations. I must work to fit in, I'm sure. I can become physically and mentally involved with a simple tape deck. I like to do everything that can be done with one. I am proud of my personal music catalog. I don't think there can be anything like it anywhere. I really have no statement, other than this. I am turning into a complex man. I can't help it. I am happy this way. I love almost all punk rock, but I wouldn't want to be one. I have a large mustache most of the time. I sometimes lose it to boredom. I know I can always start a new one. I never get enough sex. I can wear some strange clothes. I wonder why I can't begin to play a horn. I really miss all of my former girlfriends, sometimes. I hope my bed saves my life again. I thank you by stopping this stupid shit. (original unedited version) |
