Arthur Hatton, also known as arthur42 on The Mooreatorium Forum, released his first full-length album last month and cited Kevin Moore as his "primary influence" in an interview with Linescratchers, a music blog he created in 2008 about musicians who are Latter-day Saints. In the Q&A, the Georgia-based singer-songwriter discussed his nine-track album, titled Odes, and said that Moore's songs helped open his mind to new possibilities in music.
"This might surprise people who know what Kevin’s music sounds like because I don’t know that it really sounds anything like mine," Hatton said. "But Kevin Moore really stretched the boundaries of what I thought was possible with music, giving up a semi-famous life in a semi-famous band (Dream Theater) to really explore himself and his own music. I really wish I could say more about him in a short interview, but suffice to say he’s the inspiration behind a lot of what I’ve composed. I covered one of his songs [Chroma Key's 'Colorblind'] live with my two siblings not too long ago (it’s my favorite song in the world)."
