MOORE, DANIEL MARTIN
IN THE COOL OF THE DAY (SUB POP)
Daniel Martin Moore is a singer and songwriter from Cold Spring, Kentucky. Daniel Martin Moore's new album, "In the Cool of the Day", all started with an old piano, situated in the heart of Cincinnati's WVXU studios.
What had been scheduled to be a routine interview and in-studio performance turned into otherworldly inspiration when Moore sat down and plunked away at the old 9-foot Steinway, once used as the main instrument by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
With the help of longtime friend and drummer Daniel Joseph Dorff, Moore has given us a "spiritual" album of time-tested, family gospel favorites remembered from growing up and reinterpreted here, with a few new tunes of his own in the same vein.
And, it's a sincerely revelatory album, evoking Daniel's personal history, sense of place, love, faith (in music/art/whatever) that speaks plainly to the heart of any soul.
