We approach ‘Don’t Tie Me Down’ with curiosity, as we strive to understand better the nuanced artistry behind Moss Henry. A rising American troubadour from Knoxville, Tennessee, Henry champions a playful, uplifting flair, one that finds its home in country and folk elements with a great deal of acoustic fashion. Henry’s smokey, jagged vocals are the perfect match for such vivid aural matter, sparking a nostalgic listening experience that takes us back into the American Heartland.
Make no mistake: Moss is not your average country hero. Now based in St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Henry enjoys being a 50-ton ship captain, a feature that’s perhaps removed from the classic country farm ethos. Yet, Henry makes it work, as ‘Don’t Tie Me Down’ eloquently showcases. The track is taken from ‘Gone Away’, Moss’s debut album, recorded by Allen Clapp at Coral Star studio.
Delving deeper into his artistry and latest album, Moss Henry explains: “I’ve been itching for the world to hear this album, mostly because I’ve been playing it every week on island for the tourist, but now I have a recording I’m proud of and want to share with everyone who wants to put it on at the beach, on a road trip, or a boat trip.” Overall, this is a classic record that’s bound to resonate with every country fan out there.
