Based in Bournemouth on England’s south coast, Owen Moore is an Irish-born singer-songwriter. I reviewed his 2021 album Fireside Songs last year and Owen has kindly sent me his latest: Sixteen Easy Songs For Voice & Guitar.

A prolific songwriter with an extensive back catalogue, this latest album is actually a compilation with highlights drawn from Owen’s ten previous albums which span the period 2011-2021.

Doing exactly what it says on the tin, Sixteen Easy Songs For Voice & Guitar serves as a welcome introduction to anyone wanting to familiarise themselves with Owen Moore’s work. It’s just Owen, his voice, his songs and his guitar but it makes for a fine album.

Serving up folk-infused acoustic Americana, Moore’s wistful, easy-going delivery and thoughtful, introspective lyrics are allied with instantly catchy melodies that owe something towards pop sensibilities, too.  

The full track listing for Sixteen Easy Songs For Voice & Guitar is as follows:

1. Round And Round
2. She’s Still Wearing Blue
3. Hang Around With You
4. The Blue Notes
5. Walking With That Girl Of Mine
6. Voices In My Head
7. All The Time In The World
8. Home In The Rain
9. I Don’t Play My Guitar On A Sunday
10. Night Lights
11. One Sweet Day
12. Cruel Imagination
13. In A Song
14. Somewhere Near
15. Unfaithful Moonlight
16. Riverbank

Released: September 2021
