Today, Thursday January 12th, we are very excited to be returning to SOL RECORDS STUDIO in Bright, Indiana  to embark on the making of our New full length Cd recording “Blessed Be The Bad Ones.”  This project will consist of 13 Dallas Moore originals, most of which are brand new and never before recorded with the exception of a couple of long forgotten  tunes that  have been given new arrangements, new lyrics and a new life.  There may also be additional Bonus tracks made available as we progress.  This is fixin’ to be our most ambitious recording effort to date and the songs really blend together perfectly.

We are taking a different approach to this project in that it will predominantly be recorded LIVE in the studio with minimal overdubs in an effort to capture the vibe and energy of our now infamous Live shows.  Brian DeBruler will return as engineer and Co-producer with Ol’ Dallas.  The Band, consisting of Reverend Bob Rutherford on Bass, Chuck Morpurgo on Guitars, Rocky Parnell on Drums and Mike Owens on Harmonica, are playing together better than ever and are collectively  raising the bar higher than ever for “Blessed Be The Bad Ones.”

Some tracks to look forward to are the title track, “Blessed Be The Bad Ones,” “Slippin’ and Slidin” (written by Dallas Moore and Rocky Parnell), a revamped version of the haunting Murder Ballad “Sweet Marie,” and well, quite frankly, EVERY track on this recording is Stand Out with absolutely NO ”filler” material and each song working together to present a cohesive work.  Nothin’ but pure unadulterated Redneck Rock N Rollin’ Outlaw Music on display here in full force.  This is the album I have always wanted to make and I’m literally on FIRE with a passion and enthusiasm that I’ve never known before.

Stay tuned to The Dallas Moore Band Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/thedallasmooreband, and hit “LIKE”  and also you can now follow Dallas Moore on Twitter @dallasmoore for updates throughout the entire recording sessions.  Come along and get a “Sneak Peek” into the making of the New Dallas Moore Band Album: “Blessed Be The Bad Ones.”

See Ya Down the road……DALLAS

Hey Y’all,

Lookin’ back on on the great year that was 2011 with a head and heart full of memories I’ll have for a lifetime. Both personally and professionally, this was a landmark year in my life and has set the stage for 2012 to take everything to whole new level of health, happiness and success.  In no particular order, here are some random rambling’s and bourbonically isnpired recollections of the year that was 2011!!

A highlight of my life and music career came this year with the SOL RECORDS release of our new Cd “HANK TO THANK : Live at Herzog Studio Featuring Jody Payne.”  We entered Historic Herzog Studios on the 61st Anniversary of Hank Williams’ legendary Cincinnati Recording sessions and stood before a Live -Sold Out- Audience in the very spot where Ol’ Hank had recorded several of his Biggest hits and Timeless classics such as “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Lovesick Blues,” and “My Buckets Got A Hole In It.”  To record in such a hallowed location standing side by side with my friend, mentor and champion Jody Payne of Willie Nelson and Family and also include my Mom, Madgelee Moore on the recording and welcome her back to Herzog Studio (she recorded at Herzog in 1952 with The Buckeye Belles) was truly a high point for me. I am so very proud of my Brothers in the Band and Redneck Road Crew and glad we could all share in this historic recording. This week we were honored to have HANK TO THANK named in the Top 100 Cd’s of 2011 by CityBeat magazine. Hank to Thank is available at www.solrecords.com and  www.dallasmoore.com  as well as i-Tunes and all Dallas Moore live Shows!

We we’re fortunate to tour the country sharing the stage with heroes and friends in 2011.  From January to December, the tour dates just kept comin’ in with Jamey Johnson, David Allan Coe, Blackberry Smoke, The Marshall Tucker Band, The KY Headhunters, John Conlee, Hayseed Dixie and the infamous Kinky Friedman, not to mention our  SOL Records family in Pure Grain and our friend Justin Wells from Fifth On The Floor.  I also had the pleasure of jammin’ many nights away with my hometown friends James Funk, Larry Mink, Hoppin’ Harry, Scott Risner and Billy Gant.  It’s a righteous feelin’ to spontaneously create music and memories with your heroes and friends and I soaked up and treasured every moment. Look for LOT’s more jams to come in 2012!

Our Record label SOL RECORDS kicked serious arse in 2011 releasing “Hank To Thank” as well as PURE GRAIN  ”Sowing Seeds.”  SOL Records also produced and released our debut music video for “CRAZY AGAIN” as well as the Pure Grain videos for “Truckin’ Song” and “Cowgirl” and completely overhauled our official website www.dallasmoore.com.  Most notable of the SOL RECORDS Success story this year was  label President Brian DeBruler receiving the 1st official invitation to the GRAMMY AWARDS in Feb. 2012, Los Angeles, California representing the entire SOL RECORDS family.  Our BIGGEST congrats to Brian  DeBruler and Michelle D’Amico. Y’all are making us VERY Proud!

Our friends Shooter Jennings and Adam Sheets spearheaded an entirely new music genre at www.givememyxxx.com and we were included on SOUTHERN INDEPENDENT VOLUME ONE with our song “Carolina Sunshine.”  All three compilations are available for FREE Download at www.givememyxxx.com and feature New music by Shooter Jennings, HellBound Glory, Drive By Truckers, Blackberry Smoke, Fifth On The Floor and Lots more. Sign the petition and get yours TODAY!

On a personal note, 2011 found my family makin’ some “Major Moves” to quote an Old Bocephus Song. I packed up my wife Jenna Danielle Moore and our trusty Canine Companion Johnny Cash, The “LAB IN BLACK” and moved out to the Country!! We are so happy in our new home I can’t believe it. I truly thank God everyday for the Peace we have found out here with the Horses and Cows and “Squirrels Gone Wild.”  I’m able to go Huntin’ with my Father In Law Wild Bill Murray (Wild Bill and his Wife Cindy are also our neighbors, livin’ just up the road) and had a purty good year for our “CEDAR HILL FARM HUNT CLUB.”  I’m proud to be a member of the “Elite Shooting Team” and can’t wait to Light it up again in the New Year.

Yet another blessing of our new location is the Riding. I realized on a little scoot one afternoon in December (Yes, we Ride YEAR ROUND!) that all the roads I used to seek out for a nice free ride are now the roads that take me home. Ya just can’t beat that at all friends. We also had several long distance rides this year of over 1,600 miles including 2 glorious runs to the Flora Bama  in Perdido Key, Florida.  The October run in particular was one of the Best Rides of my life on two wheels. What will 2012 bring??  I think y’all know the answer to that question………Light ‘er Up and Keep Rollin’ on!

As  I write this blog post on the 59th anniversary of Hank Williams’ death on my way to a “Big New Years Eve Show,” I am truly thankful to have made your acquaintance  and thank you for your continued Love, Support and Friendship.  If I have entertained you with a song or a joke or brought some good times your way, then I appreciate YOU giving me the oppurtunity to do just that and I THANK YOU!

2012 already has an amazing feel about it.  Something is in the air and the stars seem to be aligning for a year exploding with good vibes. I wish you all Peace, Love, Health, Harmony and Happiness and invite you to Ride and Roll along with Ol’ Dallas and my Redneck Rock n Roll Family. I can’t let the “cat out of the bag” just yet as far as details go, but stay tuned for a year filled with NEW Music Releases, Nationwide tour dates, New Music Videos and LOTS of twists, turns and surprises I’m sure no one is expecting.  Stay tuned my friends, the Ride is just beginning!

See Ya Down The Road…..

Tonite, we’ll make our final appearance at the Historic Southgate House, Newport,Kentucky. One of our favorite Honky Tonk Haunts is closing it’s doors Jan 1st 2012 and will re-open in a new location in March, 2012. I believe the new place will be a great music venue and we’ll begin a new era of making music and memories, but for now friends lets gather and raise our whiskey glass to one of the GREAT live music venues in the U.S.A. that we have been blessed to have right in our backyard.

We’ll send ‘er off in true Redneck Rock N Roll Style with a Helluva Honky Tonk Line-up for y’all. Our show will be held in the Parlour Upstairs and will kick off at 9:00 featuring acoustic jams from Justin Wells of Fifth On The Floor followed by a stripped down version of Pure Grain.  Ol’ Dallas and Lucky Chucky will take the stage around 11:00 and commence to renderin’ jams from Hank to Thank; Live at Herzog Studio feat. Jody Payne and debut several newly written songs from our upcoming 2012 release “Blessed Be The Bad Ones.”  We’ll bring it all home with a big ol’ jambalaya jam with everyone pickin’ together and some very special surprise guests.

2011 has been a GREAT year and we really appreciate the shows we played at the Southgate House, both on our own as well as with Hayseed Dixie and The Legendary Kinky Friedman (pictured here). 

Y’all come on down for one more round and help us toast the Southgate House, Simply The Best!!!

See Ya Down The Road……Dallas

Man,I’m lookin’ back on today’s events thus far and feelin’ very thankful. Woke up around 7:30 with my Beautiful Wife Jenna Danielle    Moore.Started things off with an early trip to the Gym and hit it hard today. Felt GREAT to get my ol’ blood pumpin’ and I’m feelin’ stronger and faster everyday. It’s kinda crazy to be 41 years old and in the best shape of my life  physically,mentally(what??) and spiritually. It was great to see so many posts on Facebook and Twitter welcoming home our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.They are True heroes I am grateful to all who have served our Country.I managed to git all of my Christmas shoppin’ wrapped up early for the 1st time in my life and even picked up a couple little treats for myself, two cd’s I got while shopping,Marty Robbins ” El Paso” and other Classic hits and The Little Willies featuring Norah Jones. Both made for great listening while I knocked out my work around the ol’ homestead this afternoon.I was able to breeze thru everything in time to fire up my Road King and light up these ol’ country roads for awhile. As I was cruisin’  around enjoyin’ all the old farmhouses and the brisk December air that I was cuttin’ through like a hot knife through butter,it came to me that all the roads I used to travel to for a good afternoon ride,are now the roads that take me Home. I’m in the best place I’ve ever been and am thankful for my wife and family,my band of brothers of the road, and all of my many friends for continued Love,Friendship and Support.Tonite, I’ll gladly crank up my old Guitar and entertain folks and perhaps enjoy a Fine Kentucky Bourbon.Life Is Good!
