There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators, rolling out the newgrass revolution, and then leaving the genre's torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak. There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music's ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.

Nashville-based folkicana troubadour Riley Moore's debut LP Vagrant, which Billboard called 'a wide-ranging Americana effort,' was released on July 6th, an album which highlights a soul-baring momentary pause in a life that's been anything but sedentary. Moore, who has wandered across the globe, is one of the first musicians to complete a 1,600 mile tour on foot from Maine to Tennessee with folk collective The Walking Guys and currently lives on a sailboat suitably anchored in the Cumberland River in Nashville. As he speaks about his path towards this minimal, whimsical state, he romanticizes transience in the manner of a young Woody Guthrie, and summarizes this temporal spirit in fragments pulled from his history of perpetual movement across city, region, and country lines.
