On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Musick that Needed Work - R: R. Stevie Moore

 

R. Stevie Moore is known as the Godfather of Home Recording. He is probably the best known artist to come out of the mid 70s cassette tape underground, a DIY movement of self expression centered around home-made cassettes of both music & spoken word that allowed musicians & writers to easily, economically release their material.



In 2019, Bar/None released Afterlife, a compilation of Moore tracks that were recorded at professional studios between 2006 & 2013. The album also features contributions from Ariel Pink, Jason Falkner, & Lane Steinberg. Most of the selections are remakes of decades old songs.

On December 31, 2019, Moore posted on his website that he would be doing no further song writing, recording, performing, travelling, or interviews.

    Thanks very much, NØ. R. Stevie Moore was one of the first names i came across when i first started downloading music, years ago now. It's good to find a little more by him. Sad to hear that he's no longer making music.

  4. Well, he's nearly as old as I am. Maybe he just got tired & needed a break.
