Geoff Moore - A Beautiful Sound

A Beautiful Sound is the most intensely personal offering from Geoff Moore over an illustrious two-decade career. Previously heading Geoff Moore & the Distance, this disc is Moore's first solo attempt. Partnering with Joel Hanson (PFR), Marc Byrd (Common Children), Pete Stewart, and Steven Curtis Chapman, amongst others, Moore offers up song after song of poignant lyrics and stirring musicianship. Gone on the disc is the electric edge prominent with Geoff Moore & the Distance, replaced with acoustic guitars, mandolins, piano, and sweet, poetic harmonies. Songs like "Surrounded," co-penned by Byrd, and "Swept Away" are testimony to lyrics brimming with the love of Christ. Both cuts are filled with acoustic nuances that soar to the heavens. "All I Want" is a song featuring subdued, whispered vocals by Moore that pinnacle at the chorus. On the release, Moore seems to be at his best with the mix of acoustic and electric guitars driving the cuts. A Beautiful Sound is Moore's finest work in ten year -- inspiring cut after cut is testimony of it. ~ Steven Douglas Losey, All Music Guide
