 UNPOPULAR SINGER VOL. 3
AMG REVIEW: A two-disc follow-up to Unpopular Singer Volumes 1 and 2, the third in the series cranks down the implied self-loathing of the title a bit: only the self-explanatory "Not Sold In Stores" and the endless and frankly kinda whiny career overview "Deemed Inappropriate" work the "woe is me" angle.
The album's finest track, however, is the closing "Joy Inside My Tears," a cover of the Stevie Wonder ballad that Moore turns into a uniquely personal expression of devotion and makes his own in a way that he doesn't often attempt with his covers.
Unpopular Singer Volume 3 is a bit spotty (there's more filler to be found here than on the earlier volumes), but it's still a worthy addition to Moore's early '90s musical renaissance.
