Album artwork for Knickerbocker Glory by John Moore

John Moore releases Knickerbocker Glory - a fully orchestrated collection of classic rock songs. Unashamedly a love album, it is filled with warm guitars, soaring harmonies, keyboards, strings, brass, with a hard-hitting rhythm section. He recorded it mostly at home, although drums and bass were recorded in LA by Brian Young, his JAMC band mate, and old friend Morgan Visconti in New York. Boz Boorer played saxophone and clarinet, and lent Moore a 12-String Burns guitar, which by wonderful coincidence, Moore had owned twenty years previously, and had been missing. Cecilia Fage, of Cobalt Chapel, sang main backing vocals. His daughter Ava sings the intro to first single Philosophical Man. Luke Haines applied the Les Paul treatment to Philosophical Man, while virtuoso pianist, Rod Melvin, of Kilburn and The Highroads, played keyboards. Knickerbocker Glory was mixed by Steven Boyce-Buckley at Gracieland Studios in Rochdale, lent to him, with incredible generosity, by his friend, the absolutely rockin’ pop legend Lisa Stansfield.
