What The Critics Say
Speak to Me was welcomed like the voice of an old friend. Geoff Moore created more acoustic adult contemporary pop on this third solo offering. Where buddy Steven Curtis Chapman kept electric guitar at the center of his sound, Moore continued to drift toward a rootsy, acoustic style to share his praise. By this point, no one dared to question the quality of Moore's songwriting. His glorious praise on tracks like "Your Day" and "Every Single One" shines through without requiring interpretation. The only misgiving is the lack of innovation after a five-year hiatus. After two decades of high expectations, listeners might wonder why Moore settled for four cover tracks and never varied the song tempo. Regardless, the album, which works much like a collection of Chapman's lighter hits from the late '90s, still resounds with the touch of a master's craft. Moore's earnestness and testimony make this another proud feather in his cap. ~ Jared Johnson, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
A Beautiful Sound is the most intensely personal offering from Geoff Moore over an illustrious two-decade career. Previously heading Geoff Moore & the Distance, this disc is Moore's first solo attempt. Partnering with Joel Hanson (PFR), Marc Byrd (Common Children), Pete Stewart, and Steven Curtis Chapman, amongst others, Moore offers up song after song of poignant lyrics and stirring musicianship. Gone on the disc is the electric edge prominent with Geoff Moore & the Distance, replaced with acoustic guitars, mandolins, piano, and sweet, poetic harmonies. Songs like "Surrounded," co-penned by Byrd, and "Swept Away" are testimony to lyrics brimming with the love of Christ. Both cuts are filled with acoustic nuances that soar to the heavens. "All I Want" is a song featuring subdued, whispered vocals by Moore that pinnacle at the chorus. On the release, Moore seems to be at his best with the mix of acoustic and electric guitars driving the cuts. A Beautiful Sound is Moore's finest work in ten year -- inspiring cut after cut is testimony of it. ~ Steven Douglas Losey, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Geoff Moore's self-titled solo debut focuses on his songwriting skills and a warm, acoustic sound. The album's laid-back, genuine feel is exemplified by tracks like "Out Here," "Boy Like Me, Man Like You," "Land of No Regret" and "Thanks to You," a duet with Moore's writing collaborator and tour partner Steven Curtis Chapman. Fans of Moore's work with the Distance, as well as fans of inspirational rock, in general, will be pleased with Geoff Moore's musical and lyrical honesty. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Geoff Moore followed up his 1992 Dove award-winning song "The Great Adventure," with Home Run, which continued his collaboration with Steven Curtis Chapman on two songs. Throughout Home Run, Moore turns in a set of rootsy, driving, inspirational pop/rock. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
In 1993, Geoff Moore and the Distance, made up of members Roscoe Meek, Geof Barkley, Greg Herrington, and Gary Mullet, released Evolution. The album takes the scientific theory and relates the term "evolution" to the change that God can accomplish in an individual's life. A combination of CCM, Christian alternative, and Christian rock, the release features a remake of the 1970s hit "I Can See Clearly Now" and covers original Christian rocker Larry Norman's "Why Should the Devil (Have All the Good Music)." Also included are the highly beat driven "Life Together" and "That's When I'll Know I'm Home." ~ Ashleigh Kittle, All Music Guide
