Ian Moore – To Be Loved

Well, I’ve been listening to Ian Moore’s new album, “To Be Loved” for a few days now, and I have to say it’s one of the better albums that I’ve ever listened to.

Anyone familiar with Ian will know that he isn’t easily pegged into a specific genre or style of music, and this album is no exception.  The tempo and sound are a nice change from his previous albums.

I get the feeling that it’s got some Monkey’s or Beatles influences with a smattering of blues and southern rock mixed in.  Ian’s vocals and guitar with Kullen’s keys and horn are an awesome combination alone and backed up with a full band they really shine.  I particularly like the tracks, To Be Loved and 30 days, but it’s difficult to pick a favorite.  The entire album is great and well organized.  The songs flow from one to another and while each is unique, there are some common threads that bring it all together.

There’s more info and a couple samples on Ian’s MySpace page.

So Ian, Kullen, and the rest of the band, if you happen to read this, Thanks!
