MOVING STONES released... - aug '06 "The concert was a remarkable evening, and reminded me of the value of music & community. When weather, music, venue, and crowd all come together in just the right amounts, it is an unbeatable experience. The house was a rockin'. Thanks to the band and all the fans for such a memorable night..." -Scott MOVING STONES is Scott Von’s newest recording, and a musical romp through the up's and down's of an American life. The album captures many of the live favorites from the road. Take “Sailin’ on a boat,” the opening cut, with its unmistakable vamp, or “Hard” which documents the reflections of a man looking back on his life. “Down by the sea” playfully looks at the coastal life of Central America, and the live favorite “Two eyes” tells the true tale of walking straight into a grizzly bear. Recorded in an old farmhouse in Maine, Von’s new album offers up stirring grooves from the roots music tradition, strips it down bare naked in the folk tradition, and takes musical risks by mingling with musicians who can play flat out. Moving Stones now available on iTunes and CDBaby. Check out the listen/buy link for samples and info. |
