IZIPHO SOUL unearths a rarity with this two-sider from Missouri's Melvin Moore, a singer with deep roots in gospel and r&b. 'All Of A Sudden', originally released on Quinn Records, is a modern soul holy grail - elegant, bittersweet and carried by Moore's tender vocal phrasing. The arrangement is understated yet distinctive, with a lyric that hits as hard as the delivery. On the reverse, 'I Ain't The One', credited to his later alias Melvin 'Smokehouse' Moore, shifts gears into southern soul grit. Cut in 2008, it rides a rolling groove with a rawer vocal edge and tight rhythm section heat. Together, these tracks capture two sides of Moore's artistry: refined, graceful storytelling and straight-up juke-joint fire, making this reissue a small but essential piece of soul history.
