Adding a gritty twist to classic country music, Dallas Moore is an authentic lyricist who not only contributes to the genres known as “alternative country” or “outlaw country”, but also lives in the state of mind.
The playful storytelling and mixtures of blues and rock interestingly come to him while on his Harley Davidson Road King or while cutting grass. During quarantine, Moore found himself having more time to do those things which sparked creativity once again. After years of constant touring and a recent album release in 2019, 2020 brought much needed downtime to write songs, which hadn’t happened in a few years.
The upcoming album set to release April 9th, The Rain, was tracked within two days in Nashville’s OmniSound Studios, with Dean Miller (son of Roger Miller) producing as he has done before for Moore. The album takes on a live sound that captures the energy in the room, something Moore has been wanting for a long time. He took the punches that 2020 gave and rolled them into something greater than himself, with the title track having already been released.
