Chanteur
Country US né le 20 Septembre 1955 à Durham (Caroline du Nord).
The eldest
son in the Moody Appalachian dynasty, Carlton Moody was also the first to step
out on a solo career. The move might have been interpreted as breaking away from
the old-time Appalachian and traditional bluegrass influence of his father, the
well-known fiddler Dwight Moody, but the road led back out into the country. The
project Carlton Moody created with his younger brothers Trent and David Moody
turned out to be, at its heart, quite traditional after all and not just because
the name of the band, the Moody Brothers, sounded just like any one of the
dozens of "brother bands" in mountain music. "Cotton Eyed Joe" was the name of
the group's first big smash and even a listener with no knowledge of old-time or
country music might recognize this song title, akin to something like "Home on
the Range" in terms of being a universally recognized standard. And perhaps worn
out? Not according to what happened when the Moody Brothers souped it up with
electric instruments, electronic drums, and the latest line dance groove, which
turned out to be as "latest" as clogging from the '20s. The breakthrough to a
non-country audience that this record enjoyed, however, turned out to be a
novelty fluke. Far from continuing to ride high on the hit parade with
variations on this theme, Carlton Moody and his brothers have taken an
interesting course in a career that has already won them Grammy nominations and
awards from any number of country music organizations. The Moody Brothers have
become an annual attraction at the Disney's European operation, Eurodisney,
performing as the in-house country band in Frontierland. Thus, the inviting
title of Carlton Moody's first solo album, Meet Me in Paris, could apply to any
of the other Moody clan as well. Meet Me in Paris, however, was actually
recorded in Nashville and features a range of blues, bluegrass, traditional
country, and Western swing. From this evidence, listeners may assume that this
Moody seems to be in no hurry to abandon the solid traditions of the country
music craft, perhaps the best explanation why he has to hide out in Paris rather
than work in Nashville. Carlton Moody is also concentrating on his own
songwriting, with co-writers including Roger Cook of "I'd Like to Teach the
World to Sing" fame and George Hamilton V, who records and performs under the
name of Hege V. It was the latter performer's father,
George Hamilton IV, who gave the
Moody Brothers of their early breaks in show business by taking them on as his
backup band on a European tour in the early '80s. This was only a few years
after the youngest members of the Moody family had been appraised as old enough
to go out on the road on their own, without father's watchful eye and rosined
bow to keep them in line. Dad, who came up as a member of
Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys and as
a senior citizen was still going strong with Charlotte's Briarhoppers, had
gotten the boys started in show business singing gospel music on he and his
wife's local television show during the late '60s and early '70s. Carlton Moody
had learned guitar by the age of seven. He began a career as a soloist by the
mid-'70s, at 16. While attending U.N.C.-Charlotte, he became involved with
Jimmy Buffett, who at that point
was picking up local musicians for his backup bands. Moody both opened shows for
Buffet and got into some of his
spontaneous combos. In 1978, the first version of the Moody Brothers band was
formed. Since then, Carlton Moody has become an excellent player on banjo,
mandolin, Dobro, fiddle, and piano as well. Sponsored by the North Carolina
Tourism Department, Moody in 1981 took his bluegrass band on a six-week
Friendship Force tour of Brazil. Some country players might associate the '90s
Eurodisney gig with the nightmare of playing all summer at an amusement park
dressed like a hillbilly with a painted-on mustache, but perhaps there is more
to it than that, judging from this sober comment from Carlton Moody that is
similar to the sentiments of many expatriate American jazz musicians: "The thing
I like most about performing in Europe is that the audiences seem to take music
a little more seriously." He goes on describe how the European country audience
is more like the American bluegrass audience, as interested with the
contributions of the instrumentalists and the history of the music as they are
the glamorous singers out front.
