Synopsis

Album Description
"... Moock is an anachronism in the best sense. He?s a young man with the wizened sound of someone much older, often sounding a lot like Steve Forbert in both voice and arrangements, and he mixes his rootsy, confident originals with covers of old songs... Moock knows both his history and how to tell a good story." -Dirty Linen "... a young folkie who sounds just as rough, rootsy, and masculine as the bad boys of the 60s... Moock has a gnarled but pleasing voice [and] the air of a man who?s hitched from coast to coast..." -The Boston Herald "... Alastair Moock arms himself with the kind of dusty, care-worn vocals and sentiments we?ve come to expect from roots-rock balladeers like John Stewart and Steve Forbert... A Must Hear, April 2000" -CMJ

Got Moock?
02/27/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"...This guy is going to be really big. A friend took my wife and I to a bar near Boston and A.M. was playing. I'm not a big folk music fan, but I love a good live performance and this was incredible. I bought this CD and his earlier disk "Walking Sounds" at the show. Did you love the Replacements and find yourself buying Paul Westerberg's solo stuff? Maybe because you can't get enough of the lyrics and Paul's voice? Well, Alastir Moock is that kind of artist. This CD is a good sample of what the Moock is like live. He'll make you wonder what they put in your Latte. He saw you mother naked in the tub. His songs will stick in your head."
