Synopsis

Amazon.com

From carefree love songs to moments of introspective despair, Dave Moore conjures up a varied and very satisfying 10-song set of intelligent acoustic folk-pop for his third solo release. More of a stylist than a singer, the one-time Prairie Home Companion bandleader and frequent Greg Brown sideman mines a similar musical vein as Brown, Leon Redbone and even J.J. Cale. "Midnight" is appropriately dark and moody, with Moore's vocals barely rising above a whiskey-soaked whisper, while "Magic Dust" has an appealing, radio-friendly chorus. Breaking Down to 3 is a wonderfully crafted record whose quiet beauty reveals a real emotional depth. --Percy Keegan

CD Reviews

Dave Moore's latest CD grows on you.

09/01/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After listening to "Breaking Down to 3" a few times, I couldn't get Dave Moore's songs out of my head. He has a gift for writing quiet and very meaningful songs about love, loss and life in general. My favorites include "Mr. Music," "Big Drafty House," and the heartbreaking "All the Time in the World. Fans of James McMurtry or Richard Buckner would warm to Moore, and he can be a lot more cheerful, too. A real find."

Dave Moore is a must!

Brian Japuntich | Menomonie, WI USA | 01/03/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Two years ago, Dave agreed to play for my graduation party after I received my degree. I will never forget that day. I have been listening and have seen Dave play live for the past ten years. The man has been given the talent to turn a noisy coffeehouse into a dead quiet sanctuary with his voice and guitar alone. Anyone buying any (or all) of his three albums will NEVER regret it."

Straight-from-the-heart songs of life, loss and love

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Dave Moore's newest release is honest and true to the music. It is what he knows. This record (which listens like a book) delivers an over magical feel without any of the hype. Bo Ramsey on guitar, Dave Zollo on piano, Rick Cicalo on bass and Steve Hayes on drums intuitively and beautifully back up Dave in a way that no other band could. "Breaking Down to 3" is an intimate story told with a tantalizing mixture of good old Iowa roots rock and blues, with a bit of old time folk. Amazing. I love it."
