As his name suggests, Chance McColl literally “got lucky” when he was thrown into a musical adventure with Beth Moore sometime in 2014. That meeting, and recording, revealed the true depth of Miss Moore’s gifts. This recording Electric Fantastic is proof of that revelation for it is on this repertoire that the skill and scope of Miss Moore’s talent is on full display. She is a powerful vocalist who literally brings down the proverbial house each time she sings. [Her vocals are truly magical on the song “Words”]. She is also fleet-fingered and delicate on the hefty Hammond C3 – the heaviest of the Hammond organs – and she is a superb arranger as her horn arrangements prove her to be.
