A perfect introduction
This new Cherry Red compilation has been assembled with care and expertise by the artist's entourage and the venerable label. R. Stevie Moore has been making music since he was a tyke in Nashville, TN in the 60s and he's released his own material since the early 80s. He virtually pioneered the concept of self-releasing home-recordings and he's still at it. "Meet" focuses on a particular time frame in the artist's long career and the remastered recordings belie little of their humble beginnings in garages and garrets in TN and NJ. This is a great way to ease oneself into the ultra-prolific work of one of the most underexposed musical geniuses of our time.
