R. Stevie Moore,
Quiet Hooves
Farm 255
There are about
a billion places that
you could start to
unravel the nearly four
decades of madness
that is the musical
career of R. Stevie
Moore, but let's start
with a number: 400.
That's approximately
how many albums he
has recorded since he started in the '60s, and that's actually a low estimate. And here's
where it starts to get really nuts: he did most of the recording entirely on his own.
Moore has been called a lot of things: the Godfather of DIY recording, this country's
greatest undiscovered talent, a creative genius, etc. His legacy dates back to 1952, when
he was born in Nashville—the eldest son of Bob Moore, famous Nashville session bassist
for the likes of Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison. Very early on, Moore had access to both
instruments and recording gear. According to the extremely detailed timeline on Moore's
website, he made his first home recordings at age 16.
While continually recording, learning music and doing some session work in studios
around Nashville, Moore also delved into the blossoming post-punk scene of the 70s and
'80s in the New York/ New Jersey area.
By 1982 Moore had launched the R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club, through which he
distributed his home-recorded, hand-labeled records via subscription to what would
become a loving, dedicated fanbase. Over those hundreds of releases he has covered a lot
of ground—from post punk to metal to experimental noise to comedy to pop, all the way
back to the Grand Ole Opry country of Nashville... not to mention plenty of deranged,
homemade videos.
Luckily for us, Moore has enough ego and eccentricity to share that creativity which
has already inspired numerous artists—from experimental LA. freak folk-er Ariel Pink
to local act The Apples in Stereo and countless others. And in this digital age, Moore
now has many more channels through which to funnel his music, including YouTube and
numerous MySpace accounts. He has even taken advantage of Kickstarter, creating an
account there to fund this, his first-ever extended tour.
If you've gone this long without hearing of Moore, do yourself
this show. You only get to see genius every so often. [Chris Miller
