Evaporate
About This Album
Shannon Moore is a songwriter who has done well in getting her work to the movies and television. She's recorded a previous album titled LTD that appeared on the tiny FMA label in 1999, but for all practical purposes, Evaporate is her true arrival. Issued by the newly launched Water Records' imprint 10 Spot, the album is a near stellar collection of original American rock and pop tunes written with grace, rough-hewn elegance and guts. Moore understands the nuances of the craft of songwriting and has been at it awhile. That Evaporate appears on the scene as an album by a fully developed artist isn't just a plus for her, it's a privilege for the great numbers of listeners who are continually inundated by dross, empty hype, and utterly vapid records by pretty boys and girls who will record anything put in front of them, or write songs without having any idea -- experientially or professionally -- of their subject matter or craft. Somewhat of a hubbub has been made of the similarity of Moore's voice to Chrissie Hynde's and Aimee Mann's. That is such a superficial observation that it really doesn't hold water. Moore's vocal phrasing is fluid, and it is all her own.
