I am fascinated by R. Stevie Moore but I’ve rarely seen an interview or summation of his work that was easily digestable and encapsulated the vastness of his work. He’s either quickly summed up as “pioneer of home recording” or referenced as “that guy that puts out every song he’s ever made.” I’m guilty of both.
Fortunately, this 3-minute piece from Great Big Story does a great job of letting R. Stevie Moore explain R. Stevie Moore. In his own words, he walks through his history of recording, his recent embrace by a wider audience and, most importantly, why his catalog of work is so huge.
