BILLBOARD IS PREMIERING DANIEL MARTIN MOORE’S NEW TITLE SINGLE “NEVER LOOK AWAY” | CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT
Never Look Away, the 9th album from Daniel Martin Moore, finds the artist expanding, experimenting, and having fun in the studio. Co-produced by multi-instrumentalist Seth Kauffman, the recordings are candid, unfussed-over, and full of energy and light. “Seth is a wonder. I’ve admired his work for years, and it was a joy to bring this batch of songs to life with him,” said DMM. Kauffman is best-known for being the man-behind-the-band Floating Action, playing nearly all of the instruments, producing, recording, and mixing the albums himself. (In his spare time, he plays on the albums and in the touring bands of Jim James, Ray Lamontagne, and many others.)

The job of keeping songs and stories alive has gone by many names. Bards, minstrels, griots, shanachies- depending what part of the world you’re in, there’s a different word for these people. The job takes intact memory and colorful imagination, but more importantly the skill of bringing fresh life to old things, rendering them timeless, and making people care. In this work, even songs about death can wake up with vibrant pulse.

It’s appropriate that Boz Scaggs’ latest album is Out of the Blues (July 2018), since the blues is what first sparked his five-decade musical career.
Born William Royce Scaggs in Canton, Ohio on June 8, 1944, he grew up in Oklahoma and Texas, where he spent his teenage years immersed in the blues, R&B and early rock ‘n’ roll. While attending school in Dallas, he played in local combos. After several years as a journeyman musician around Madison, WI and Austin, TX, Scaggs spent time traveling in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, eventually settling in Stockholm where he recorded the album Boz.
