Description

The long awaited new album from Scott Von with many of the live favorites. Recorded in an old farmhouse in Maine, the album captures the boot stompin vibe of a live room, while melding the sounds of trumpet, dobro, piano, lap steel, upright bass, drums and percussion. The songwriting this time around has a palpable intimacy, and the musicians take risks with some hearty extended musical jams.

So get ready to be lifted up and taken on a musical romp through the up's and down's of an American life. This singer-songwriter is winning fans for good reason: he offers up stirring grooves from the roots music tradition, can strip it down and deliver it bare and vulnerable like the best artists of the folk tradition, and takes musical risks by mingling with musicians who play jazz. This album has all that and more, and as one reviewer wrote: "Moving stones leaves you feeling better for having listened..."


From the Artist:
The songs that made this album banged their way through by succeeding at the live shows, where audiences really enjoyed them night after night. So it came time to record them and after a week in Maine, a night in Colorado, and the help of a handful of very talented musicians, here we are. To the fans who support the music, the live shows, and the recordings, the biggest thanks goes out to all of you...

-Scott Von, June 2006
