Search - Jacob Moon :: Eventide

Eventide is a gently rollicking, sublime and organic-sounding record, the kind that's evokes an evening drive in the country, just as the sun is going down over rolling hills.

With his warm voice and lyrical acoustic guitar at front-and-centre, Moon leads a band of supportive musicians through 10 songs that hang together like a tapestry of Moon's influences. There's all the elements of Moon's trademark sound: the gospel-tinged groove of "Just Like You", featuring members of his Soul Gospel Experience; the Lightfoot-style folk poetry of "Magnolia", the longing and melancholy of ballads like "Tell Me Why", and his connaisseur's choice of covers by Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris.
