from Willie Nelson. He said, "Just always play to whatever your audience
is that night."
Western Star - January, 2006
"If the long hair, tats and photos with beer cans
are any indication, the Dallas Moore Band is not your Keith Urban
country music."

Fishing, Long-necks, Short Skirts, Big Cigars, Strip Bars and getting

Gritz Magazine - Remembrance of Jakson
Spires, Summer, 2005
"I had the great
pleasure and honor of playing with Jakson on several occasions. He was
always the most humble and gracious person in the room. Always there
with a funny joke or a kind word. His talent behind those drums was
always inspiring. Now when we hear the thunder rolling through the sky
you can bet it's ol' Jak kickin' off the drum solo!" Dallas

"WHAT A SHOW! As usual, Dallas did it his way, and
what a way he has. The house was definitely rockin', with standing
room only both nights."
Gritz Magazine Onstage Review -
November 19, 2004
"Dallas Moore and the Snatch Wranglers opened the
show and I can say it is beyond me why some major label hasn't signed
this band. Once again, they put on another first class show."

Gritz Onstage Live Show Review -
July 10, 2004
"From the time they hit the stage until their last
song this band was white hot. .... The night belonged to them plain
and simple."
Independent Florida Sun - April 23, 2004
"Moore may be crazy. But he’s no fool. With hits
like “Down in Dixie” and “Mama was a God Fearin’ Woman (Daddy was
a Hell-Raisin’ Man,” the up-and-coming country maverick has won
over Willie Nelson, Lynard Skynard and David Allen Coe."
City Beat 2003 CEA Nominees - October 2, 2003

forces in the modern "Outlaw Country" movement.

Gritz Magazine - March, 2003
Review of
High on the Hog (Michael Buffalo Smith)
"Dallas and his band are a
force to be reckoned with. As clear as a mountain stream and as
dirty as a Texas Whorehouse. Turn it up to "eleven" and
twist the top off a bottle of Jack Daniels. Rev up the shovel head
and put your face in the wind. Hell ya!"
Cincinnati Enquirer - February 9, 2003
Major labels listen to Dallas Moore's sound
Louisville Music News - January, 2003
Review of November 21, 2002 show with David Allan Coe
"This guy
is incredible, taking a style that began with Skynyrd, Hatchet, CDB and
even Coe and taking it to a completely new level. Plain and
simple, Dallas Moore is the future of Southern Rock/Country redneck
music"
City Beat Magazine - January 1, 2003
A Personalized Recollection of the Most Memorable Local Cuts from 2002
(Mike Breen)
"Perfume, Powder and
Lead" by Dallas Moore Band (from High on the Hog).
It's not an original, but this murder ballad is done just right by the
region's blazingly best Outlaw Country cowboy. Simple acoustic guitar
and a little slide are the skeleton, but Moore's stirring delivery is
the heart and soul. Great murder ballads are by nature deliriously
creepy, but Moore brings the devil out of this one almost as well as
Johnny Cash."
City Beat CD's of the Year 2002
"This disc is these Outlaw Country masters' best
yet. The group does a great job of keeping the proceedings as
diverse as possible, mixing rockers with acoustic songs and bluesy
numbers. Those tiring of mainstream Country music's increasing
tendencies toward Top 40 Pop stylings won't be disappointed.
Cincinnati Post - November 22, 2002
(Review of High on the Hog)
"Moore is getting so good at this
he's making the outlaw country rock genre his own."
City
Beat Magazine - November 21, 2002 (Review of High on the Hog)
"The disc is the band's most
fully realized yet." "Those tiring of mainstream Country
music's increasing tendencies towards Top 40 Pop stylings will not be
disappointed in Moore's true take on the classic sound."
Cincinnati Enquirer - November 22,
2002 (Review of High on the Hog)
" ... the latest from
country-rocker Dallas Moore and his band manages to be their most down
home and most rocking set to date." "For country-rocking
prime cuts, you can't beat High on the Hog."
Bass Guitar Magazine
"As the Dallas Moore Band
recently rocked its way through the Midwest, bassist Bob Rutherford took
along Ashdown Engineering amplifiers to help him put the
"hard" back in hard-core country."
City Beat Magazine - October, 2002
"Mixing dirty Honky Tonk and Southern Rock,
Dallas Moore and his band, the Snatch Wranglers have become the regional
leaders of "outlaw country" music.
Louisville Music News - June,
2002
"With all respects to Coe and
his entourage, however, the fire was stolen from them on this night.
The opener, Dallas Moore, stole the show from the start. He kicked
off this redneck party with a vengeance with "One More Ride"
an up tempo high energy "kick-ass" song. He's a star in
the making."
Gritz Magazine - 2 Good 2 Miss ... May, 2002
"Dallas Moore has been shaking up
audiences all over the country for several years now, performing his own
unique style of outlaw country music, with a big ol' dose of rock-n-roll
tossed in. Moore is a true original. He isn't following a
path, he is creating one."
Gritz Magazine Review of "Live"
CD - May, 2002
"Dallas works the crowd like a
redneck P.T. Barnum, and the band provide all the right licks to make
"Live" a real treat. It won't be long before Moore moves from
opening for the likes of Marshall Tucker and Willie Nelson into
headlining his own stadium shows. No, the good times aren't over at all.
They are just beginning."
Cincinnati Enquirer - May 10, 2002
"Moore's rowdy reputation
as an outlaw country singer who rocks the stage precedes him. He's known
for his gruff and gritty songs and hell-raising performances, where
guitars usually end up broken in a musical frenzy."
AMG (All Music Guide) Biography
"The long-haired Harley-riding
singer, who was influenced by old
Elvis
Presley and
Hank
Williams 45s as a kid, plays a hard rockin' brand of country that is
topped of by his gruff vocals and shows equal reverence for
Waylon
Jennings and
Lynyrd
Skynyrd."
Review of "Live" CD by Cub
Koda
"Another solid chapter of modern
country music done right."
Cincinnati Enquirer - March 11, 2002
(Quote from Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer and CAMMY winner, Bootsy Collins)
"Pointing at Mr. Moore, Bootsy says 'that cat,
man he's just a bomb cat, man' ..."
Cincinnati Enquirer - March 8, 2002
"Their music can be described as 'full on
hell-raisin', foot stompin' outlaw country with large doses of
southern rock, honky tonk, bluegrass, blues and western swing thrown
in together and turned up REALLY LOUD.' They tour nationally in
support of acts such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, and David
Allen Coe."
Middletown Journal - January,
2002
"Dallas Moore isn't afraid to be himself.
He is a nice, down to earth guy, but at the same time, he's a quite
devoted and talented country musician, who is making his way back to
Cincinnati from Nashville to play an acoustic solo set at The Wooden
Horse in Woodlawn from 9 to midnight on Tuesday."
Cincinnati Magazine - July, 2001
"Cincinnati's No. 1 country music
outlaw sets his sights on the open road to fame."
Webmistress
Beth on the road… to Brookville, Indiana
"We couldn’t see the band at
all. There was no stage, no special lighting -– just a bunch of guys
at the end of the room where the pool tables usually were. Jamming out
the tunes. Er, I mean, stomping their Jack-Daniels-loving,
Marlboro-smoking, my-baby-done-left-me-Fuck-Her outlaw hearts
out. Flipping off the crowd, and getting flipped off back."
Thunder Roads Magazine - March, 2001
"As I watched his show and listened to his songs, I
kept trying to figure out who he reminded me of, if anyone. You know how
you see some acts, and they tend to imitate other people or other peoples
acts? Well by the time the show was over, I had figured out whom it was
that he favored. It was NO ONE. Dallas Moore is just Dallas Moore, playing
his music, his way."
The Bloomington Independent - January
11, 2001
"The decision
leading up to Dallas Moore's arm-length Hank Williams Sr.
tattoo must be well entrenched in country gospel. Moore's brand of
"outlaw" country stems directly from the short life of
Williams' drinking and doping."

- Review of Untold Stories. December, 2000
"Untold
Stories, the 'unplugged' CD from Ohioan Dallas Moore is the third CD
from this talented southern rockin', outlaw country, hell raisin'
musician.
City Beat Magazine - November24, 2000
"Moore and his Wranglers have been packing venues
regionally, opening recently for the likes of the reconstituted Lynyrd
Skynyrd and fellow outlaws David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard and Waylon
Jennings. Indeed, if Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and
Willie Nelson ever need a fifth Highwayman (or, regretfully, a
replacement fourth), Moore would get the Cincinnati vote."
Cincinnati Enquirer Review of
"Untold Stories" - 11/24/00
"Local country star Dallas Moore is
known for his hard-rocking shows that mix Hank Jr. and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
On his latest release, he and the boys unplug their amps and head for the
porch. Packed with hot-picking and good songs, Untold Stories is
Dallas' best album yet."

Ace Magazine - October
19, 2000
"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."
City Beat Magazine - October 19, 2000
"Stories is an excitingly exemplary new album and features a
new twist: it's completely acoustic. The songs on Stories are
still full of vitality and energy, with Moore's gruff soulful vocals tearing
away with a highly emotional yet gritty delivery."
The Cincinnati Enquirer - October 19,
2000
"He swept the 2000 Cammys, rocked 'em at Pepsi
Jammin' on Main and at countless honky-tonks across the country.
Along with belting out songs from Skynyrd to Hank, Sr., the man knows
how to throw a party. The occasion is the release of his unplugged
album, "Untold Stories" featuring such stompers as "Frog
Giggin" and the moody murder ballad "Sweet Marie"

May 15, 2000

opening the country stage with a set that mixed Hank Jr's attitude with
Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound on fine originals and a rockin' cover of Rednecks,
White Sox and Blue Ribbon Beer."
Pepsi Jammin' on Main Event Program
"The leading local Country act, Moore and Co.

that "the rest of my band couldn't be here because of a bizarre
folding couch accident."
