Moon Shine is a collection of 10 songs that Sean McGovern wrote from poetry by Chris King. They aspire to be hook-laden American folk rock with touches of power pop, glam, and country punk. There is enough recurring imagery and thematics to suggest a story sequence: A traveler struggles to keep but loses a lover and ends up alone on a dark road. It’s a record full of long journeys by night, sometimes with a beloved under a lover’s moon (“that old pimp looking down goofy and blue”), sometimes alone with “no star to guide.”
Though almost every line in every song is from a poem by Chris, these are not song settings or poetry scores. Sean curated the poetry, moving lines in and out of poems and even writing a line to hold a couple of songs together. This process extended the practice of the poet, who considers these to be collage poems drawn from things thought, said, and overheard, and fragments salvaged from his old notebooks and obscure primary texts by others.
One silent partner deserves special mention. John G. Bourke was a U.S. Army captain who kept journals while riding with General Crook as literally his right-hand man and field secretary. Much of the natural imagery in the poems is drawn from Bourke’s field journals and books. The Watermelon Mountains, for example, are mountains Bourke crossed while trailing the Apache; Geronimo himself ended up a watermelon farmer when he finally came in from the war path.
The artist
Sean McGovern is a late bloomer as a songwriter and recording artist. Raised in a musical family in Granite City, Illinois, he first had success as the front man of a cover band, Paint the Earth, one of St. Louis’ most popular live acts throughout the 1990s. He came into his own as a songwriter in the 21st Century. He has made a series of EPs of his songs with Meghan Gohil producing based on Sean’s home recordings, with help from friends. Since Sean started writing songs from Chris King’s poems in 2017, they have written hundreds of songs and projected many records. Moon Shine is both his first set of studio recordings with a live band playing his songs and his first LP.
