 : Scott E. Moore and his music
"These tunes hone in on Moore's knack for combining Northern edge with Southern grease in an unbeatable combination...It is time for Scott E. Moore to stop being Mr. Misunderstood and start being Mr. Appreciated."
-- Puremusic.com
"To look at regionality in new 'indie' roots music, 'Keeping Time' ventures not to the ancient hollers of Appalachia, but to places like Hoboken, N.J., where singer-songwriter Scott E. Moore regularly presents new rootsy songwriters in "Writers' Hang" shows -- with enough sense of local roots that he leads a singalong of 'Bye Bye Frankie,' his ironic farewell to town icon Frank Sinatra."
-- The Wall Street Journal, (on The Sundance Channel TV's "Keeping Time: New Music from America's Roots")
"With his hushed tenor voice, clever lyrics and relaxed grooves, Moore carves out a niche on the album somewhere between Keb' Mo and Michael Franks."
-- The Washington Post
"...mixing lush licks of blue-eyed soul and haunting voice with the verbal flair of Tom Waits."
-- The Bergen Record
"Moore is more...on 'Bye Bye Frankie,' a send-off to another somewhat more famous singer from Hoboken, he's affectionate without being sentimental and jaunty without being rakish -- like Steely Dan's Donald Fagen were he lower his guard enough to pay homage to Frank Sinatra."
-- The Times of Acadiana, Lafayette, LA
