Dallas Moore’s new album, Mr. Honky Tonk, is filled with songs about hometowns, drinkin’, and heartbreak — a full-blooded American country compilation definitely worth a listen.
Produced by Dean Miller — he’s worked with Chris Stapleton, Alison Krauss, and Merle Haggard — and backed by a plethora of master performers (including harmonica legend Mickey Raphael, famed Nashville session bassist Michael Rhodes, and pedal-steel pro Steve Hinson), the LP stems from the creative writing mind of outlaw troubadour Moore.
An award-winning songwriter of No. 1 hits like “Texas Tornado,” “Crazy Again,” and “Blessed Be the Bad Ones,” Moore does most of his writing out on the open road.
“I do the vast majority of my writing while I’m out riding my Harley-Davidson Road King,” Moore says. “When I’m alone on a long ride, it’s really the only time I’m free to let my mind open up and wander. The lyrics and melodies seem to come out of the wind and into my mind.”
When he reaches his destination, Moore says, he’ll pick up a guitar and flesh out the music.
“I write from both personal experiences and observations I make while out on the road,” he says. “I’ve never been able to sit down and write in a certain time frame or controlled environment. It always seems to come from out of nowhere and happen organically — I can’t force it. I reckon it’s different for everybody, but that’s what works for me.”
Moore and his band recently received the Outlaw Group of the Year award at the Ameripolitan Music Awards, in Austin, Texas. It was their fourth time being nominated for the Ameripolitans, which highlight the best in outlaw country, Western swing, honky-tonk, and rockabilly music.
