Dallas Moore Shares New Single “Everything But You”

The video premiered with Billboard who writes, “On the track, Moore laments of his dreams that keep him away from the ones he loves. Alongside soaring pedal steel and string features and Moore’s gruff vocals, the emotion is felt on ‘Everything But You.'”

“[This] was the last song I wrote for this album,” states Moore. “I played a grueling 337 shows last year and was constantly criss crossing the USA making all the gigs then hauling ass back to my girls who were home at our TEXAHIO Ranch in Southern Ohio. Everything was really taking off with the Mr Honky Tonk album that we were touring in support of at the time and I felt like I had everything I’ve ever wanted and worked so hard for. Everything but my wife and daughter that is.”

Just like Moore’s last album, 2018’s Mr. Honky Tonk, Tryin’ To Be A Blessing was produced by Dean Miller, son of the legendary Roger Miller and a fellow country singer/songwriter. The album features a guest appearance by Nashville Honky Tonk singer Tommy Ash on the song “Lovin’ on Backstreets.”

The first single from the new album was the “up-tempo, exuberant track,” “Mama & Daddy” which Taste of Country said, “would be right at home in any barroom in the world, featuring a chugging drum track, shuffle pattern guitar rhythm tracks and punctuated by tasteful steel guitar runs.”

Moore and Miller convened at Nashville’s OmniSound Studios where the producer assembled a crackling group of Music City’s top-flight musicians, among them pedal steel great Steve Hinson, Guthrie Trapp on lead guitar, drumming champ Mark Beckett, keyboard whiz Gordon Mote and fiddle-playing sensation Jenee Fleanor. Those session players, combined with members of Moore’s own band (guitarist Chuck “Lucky Chucky” Morpurgo and harmonica man Mike Owens), coalesced into a grouping that Moore calls “a dream team of players.” Citing the prodigious skills of the studio band, he reveals that all instrumental tracks for the album’s nine songs were cut in a single day. “Every song was a first or second take,” he says. “When you have musicians that good, the music just pours out of them.”

Moore’s transcendent performances with his ace outfit the Dallas Moore Band have attracted fans of gutsy, traditional country and Americana alike, logging upwards of 300 shows per year. This year has proved no different as Dallas continues his never ending tour with shows across the US through the rest of the year. See full list of tour dates below.
