Daniel Martin Moore & Joan Shelly–“Farthest Field”
We were drawn to Daniel Martin Moore last year when his first Sub Pop album, In the Cool of the Day, was released. We reveled in Moore’s choice of songs and uniquely subtle and restrained delivery. And we retreated to his album when the world’s musical excesses exceeded our tolerance (which is admittedly high).
Moore has now released a new duet album with Joan Shelley entitled Farthest Field, on his own label Ol Kentuck. For the full story of the album, as covered by the poet Marianne Worthington, you can go HERE. Below is a video of the first song from the record, First of Spring, recorded live at the Emery Theatre in Cincinnati, followed by another song (We Two) from the album performed in the same venue. Below the two videos, you can also listen to the last song on the album, Would You Tell Me Your Dreams. You can go HERE to stream and purchase the new album. These are savory songs to soothe your soul.
