专辑简介

The Moore Brothers are fans and performers of traditional acoustic and electric roots music. Their specialty is blues, but they also perform songs in other traditional styles including hillbilly, gospel, ragtime, and rockabilly. Their acoustic blues is the kind of music that one would have heard in southern juke joints, dance halls, and on street corners in the years before World War II. Their electric repertoire includes blues, swing, and R&B from Memphis, Chicago, Texas, the West Coast, and all points inbetween. The band's music is played at lower volumes to highlight the musical experience, but dancing is never discouraged! The Moore Brothers use different combinations of harmonica, guitars, and percussion to produce a refreshing variety of traditional sounds and styles. Perhaps the most unique thing about the group is their ability to write and perform original songs in a style that is true to the music created by their many heroes. Songs like "Conspirement Women," "Rambler's Predicament, " and "Move It On" sound like something created during the 1930s! "Cruel Lovin," "She Moves Me," "Mississippi," and their other original electric tunes could have easily been performed in the 1950s or 1960s. Songwriters Tom Moore and Jeff Harrell are able to craft tunes that are both original and authentic. The Moore Brothers also enjoy doing cover versions of their favorite tunes. Their live set list typically includes classics by Jimmy Reed, Smiley Lewis, Blind Willie Johnson, Little Walter, Tarheel Slim, Fats Domino, Elvis, and many others.
