Glad you dig the full Moon! He was, in his own way, as music-forward and gifted as anyone slapped with the new wave label, with the possible exception of the prodigious and prolific Elvis. But, he belongs in that era's discussion with the likes of John Hiatt, Joe Jackson, Willies DeVille, Alexander, and Nile, Steve Forbert, Robert Gordon, Tom Verlaine, and probably others!
As can be seen by his hits for others, his writing was attractive to many other artists...for some reason, HE never really got the airplay and press he deserved (but, how many hundreds of artists can THAT be said about)! And, he was on Capitol, so "t iny label" can't be an excuse. Lack of adequate promo by the label? Yep.
Moon needs to be written about at some point, and he's one I'd love to tackle. He died fairly recently (May 2020) at 74 of natural causes in Encino (of all places)! Cheers, and happy Thursday!
