Product DescriptionCan't Tame A Wildcat finds the Dallas Moore Band back on the prowl ...
Set for release on February 27, 2009, the latest full length CD from Outlaw Country Troubadour, Dallas Moore, proves to be the band's most fully realized disc yet. Following fast on the heels of 2008's Tales From A Road King, Dallas Moore comes back even stronger with the release of Can't Tame A Wildcat, Moore's 7th CD release and first with SOL Records.
From the defiant opening lyrics of Damn Sure Works For Me, it is apparent that Dallas Moore is charging full steam ahead with his own iconic blend of southern fried attitude, trends be damned! It's obvious as one listens to each track, that this is no mere batch of songs Moore is peddling, but rather a way life.
The energy and emotion that the band's live shows have become known for is finally captured for the first time in a studio environment. "We just went into the studio with my old friend, Brian DeBruler at the helm engineering and kicked back and played just about everything live with very minimal overdubs. We just wanted to get the right feel for each song and have fun with it and I think you can both hear and feel that when ya give this one a listen. It's just us doin' what we do." says Moore. From the tongue in cheek irony of That Girl (as in, you all know that girl) to the foot-stompin' anthem of Outlaw Country, Dallas and his band draw on a pool of influences that bring back the vibe of 70's-era Southern Rock and Country with with a big ol' size 12 boot planted firmly in 2009.
However, Can't Tame A Wildcat isn't completely awash in fist-pumpin', and chest-poundin' bravado. With All My Heart is a bonified heartsick, love-gone-bad ballad that could easily have been recorded by Haggard, Jones or Twitty, yet here it recieves a gritty, emotive vocal performance by Moore thats worthy of more than one night spent down in the depths of the Jim Beam decanter. With this CD (as I suspect in real life), Dallas Moore doesn't stay down long however. Things pick up and get down right old timey with Reelin' 'Em In, Moore's happy-go-lucky take on fishin' and women, which finds the band in a musical time machine landing somewhere between Bob Wills and Johnny Cash circa 1959.
Two respective country rockers Best Thing That I Ever Did Was You and Hot Blooded Mama (penned by outlaw country innovator Billy Gant) put the peddle to the metal to round out the CD in true juke-joint fashion.
