Way back in the days of yor - or 1972 to be specific - some friends got together in Spartanburg, South Carolina to do what they love; play music. Their sound was unique and came from the heart. It soon caught the attention of record executive Phil Walden of Capricorn Records (who had launched the Allman Brothers). With the release of the Marshall Tucker Band's debut album in 1973 the world soon was caught up in the infectious sound they created. Their albums went gold and platinum, their singles hit the Top 40 and they sold out arenas in the United States and Europe.

And the magic is happening again in 2002. Seven Moore, whose line-up features founding MTB members Jerry Eubanks and Paul Riddle, are again creating infectious tunes that come from the heart. The music, like that of MTB's, is improvisational and features extended solos. And because of Paul's and Jerry's involvement comparisons to Tucker are bound to occur. The band does pay homage to Toy Caldwell and the Tucker boys (usually covering one MTB song in concert) but this is not MTB revisited. Personally, no other music has done it for me the way MTB's has... that is, until Seven Moore came along. And although their music speaks to me the same way MTB's does, it's not the same music.

I first heard the music of Seven Moore at a place called Rascal's in Spartanburg. The band has two incarnations; the full line-up and a smaller acoustic version called Jackson Crossing. It was the latter that I first saw. I was totally blown away... not from their showmanship, but, like Tucker, from the caliber of their lyrics and musicianship. Singers Rick Willlis and Mike Rogers are the band's lead singers. Both have different styles and have incredible delivery - and their harmonies are fantastic. Their vocals are just the right fit for the music; that is to say they are reflective, thoughtful and powerful all at the same time It was so good to hear Jerry's sax again - his timing and fills are so perfect, just the right touch for the mood of the song... and he also whips out his magical flute on occasion!

Though I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the full line-up of SevenMoore in person, thanks to the band's taping policy I've been able to experience their shows on CD-R. Paul is still the world's greatest drummer. I'm not one to listen to intently to drummers (after all, they just provide the backbeat, right?). But Paul is such a (brilliant) distraction that I often find myself just focusing on what he's playing. The rest of the band are equally mesmerizing; Bobby Gaines plays lead guitar, Tim Clements is on bass and Steve Keeter plays piano. All are incredible musicians and are given the opportunity to show it - generally in understated fashion. This is not in your face music. Marshall Tucker's music always felt like it spoke to my soul... and SevenMoore's is the same way. The music emanates from the heart and it shows.

The band has just about completed work on their debut CD. They went about things differently than many new bands. Rather than record a few demo tracks and shop it to record labels, they've cut an entire CD. They had no desire to sign a deal then have their music recorded by a producer who might alter it. They wanted it done their way, on their terms, with no record label interference. The result is unadulterated music and perhaps that's why it's so incredible. The boys do what they feel and let the music go where it will. These ain't no three-minute radio friendly pieces of commercialism... it's music from the heart, as it should be!
