Album DescriptionProduced by Lorne Entress Featuring guests Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, Ellis Paul, and Mark Erelli *November 2002 Pick, Acoustic Guitar *December 2002 Pick, Performing Songwriter "'A Life I Never Had' is the CD that fans of rootsy local songwriter Alastair Moock knew he had in him. He displays the gifts the best folk songwriters have: romantic without seeming mawkish, clever without seeming precious, brooding without seeming self-pitying. The new CD is an aural feast, richly melodic, set to a propulsive groove, brimming with eloquent riffs and evocative moments, including stunning reinventions of classics by Woody Guthrie, Jimmie Rodgers, and John Prine." - The Boston Globe "A particularly impressive new collection of songs from this New England singer-songwriter. With a voice out of the dust bowl, Moock sounds ancient and modern at once." - Sing Out! Magazine
