Moments

Description

Moments is the debut album by the American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Pierce Pettis, independently released on Small World Records in 1984, a local label out of Huntsville, Alabama. The album was produced and recorded by label owner Doug Jansen Smith at Sound Cell Studios in Huntsville. (Smith would as well produce Pettis’ next album, While the Serpent Lies Sleeping.)

The album features “Song At The End Of The Movie”, a song that found its way to Joan Baez’s 1979 album Honest Lullaby while Pettis was a staff writer for Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The album also includes “Moments,” “You Need A Love” and “Grandmother’s Song,” three Pettis compositions that would later reappear on his third album, the Mark Heard produced Tinseltown.
