A lil' bit ... OUTLAW!!!  So maybe Willie Nelson, God Bless Him, is just a little too low key for you.  Do not despair.  Grab the nearest bottle of Jim Beam, uncork, swig, and go catch Dallas Moore at Rumrunner's tonight instead.  He don't play bluegrass, he don't play folk, and he sure as hell don't play new country --- Dallas Moore belts out outlaw country with all the subtlety of a barroom brawl.  He and his Snatch Wranglers won an unprecedented five Cincinnati Music Awards this year and have rudely kidnapped fans from country buffs and indie rock dreamers with his supreme, ass-kickin' rawck.  Hell, he has a tattoo of Hank Williams, Sr. on his arm.  And that's hard-core country!
