Lo and Behold

Description

Lo and Behold is the sole album by the American acoustic folk duo Bill and Ron Moore, released on Martin Recordings in 1969. The album was recorded by Jerry Black at Arthur Smith Recording Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina; with the brothers Moore producing. (“Buffalo”, “Think of You”, and “Simple” written by Ron Moore and “I’m Nothing, I’m Nobody” written by Bill Moore.)

Bill and Ron Moore are backed by Jimmy Boyle on organ; Alan Moore on bass, guitar, and tambourine; and Roger Hughes drums and tambourine.

Rare prehistoric folk artifact from Ron Moore and brother Bill looking fresh out of high school (or perhaps still in high school). Surprisingly this is quite listen-able even though it’s mostly cover songs with a propensity for Simon and Garfunkel, as well as «Get Together», «Look To Your Soul», etc. Four originals: «Buffalo», «Think Of You», «I’m Nothing I’m Nobody» and «Simple». Backing the two guitarists are Jimmy Boyle on organ, Roger Hughes on drums, and Alan Moore (another brother) on bass and additional guitar. Ron’s Airborn label co-head Ed Kilbourne also had a slew of albums on this label. Ron went on to record a number of respected albums. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
