Erik Moll was my big personal discovery *S* of one evening at the 1998 Kerrville Folk Festival. I had to hear every note he played and sang, but was anxious to get over to the tent where the CDs were sold before his were sold out ! He wrote or co-wrote all of the tunes on the CD, Most Of All, and performed many of them, along with several from a couple of earlier CDs. This is just so pleasant, and almost defies categorization. Folk ? Sure. Country ? Yeah, as a lot of folk seems to be these days. But pop too. "Stormy Night in Texas" has a haunting melody, a definite country sound, including some yodels. "Can You Handle It?" has a bit of yodel and scat, but a real pop/dance feel. "My Haunted Heart" is the opening cut. As I listen to it now I can't help but sway with it, and listen to the words, again. Moll's music does not become background music. "I Like You A Lot" is simple, and the words will make you smile even before the whistling. "I Love Your Cookin'" and "Lucky Waltz" are my other favorites of the 13 tunes on this CD.
