Sounds Like
The Leavin’ Side of Gone, is filled with great original songs that sound as if they could’ve been recorded by Hank Williams..................................-Jeff Eason, The Mountain Times Press................................................................................
His cherry-picked roots-rockin' partners in crime are continuing down the same dusty road as his last group. Twangy, bittersweet ballads and fierce, driving barn-burners are the order of the day with this unpretentious singer-songwriter. Grab a whiskey with a beer back and settle in for some male bonding (and cryin' time, too, but don't tell nobody I said that).....................................
-Jim Reed, Connect Savannah..........................................................................
Peewee Moore and the Awful Dreadful Snakes played original songs such as, "A Claim Worth Stakin," "Truck Drivin Song," and "No Place Left to Fall." It only took several songs to get the crowd on their feet. .....................................-Brad Strouse, The Corner News................................................................................
If you think country music is what they play on CMT, you should probably stay home. Moore plays the kind of music that makes whiskey taste even better....................................-David Brewer, High Country Press................................................................................What else would you expect from a guy who had his first band in elementary school, and grew up listening to the Wanted: The Outlaws album....................................-Don Rhodes, Augusta Chronicle
Hillbilly Honkytonkers from Chattanooga TN that have burned up a hundred thousand miles of worth of gasoline, and asphalt across the good old U.S.A!!! With an endless touring schedual of over 200 dates a year, making new paths, and taking the road less traveled..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
By The age of 17 Peewee Moore was writing his own songs, and picking up every show he could.

Biram, Bobby Bare JR, Steve Earle, Junior Brown, and Cowboy Jack Clement...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Man, you know there are not many real things left in this world.
“American” cars and most major record albums are being produced by companies whose headquarters are overseas. Even when you buy those small American flags to wave at patriotic gatherings, you most often will find a sticker saying “Made in Taiwan.” Real water isn’t real water anymore. It’s either chemically processed before it pours out of your home and office faucets or artificially flavored before it goes in those plastic bottles
on your grocery shelves. Have you read the ingredients on your cereal boxes? There’s more in what you eat for breakfast than what snaps, crackles and pops. Have you checked that “real” Mexican salsa that’s really made in Noo Yawk City? Oh, and have you figured out that some simple bee colony in the rural backwoods didn’t create that real” honey you’re putting on your peanut butter sandwich but rather some high production factory in a big city?
Yes, it’s tougher and tougher to find what is really real these days. But I can tell you with absolute certainty that the music you’ll hear on this new CD by Peewee Moore is the real deal and so is Peewee himself.
All the 12 songs on this new CD, The Leaving Side of Gone, were composed solely by Peewee, and ---- although new --- have that classic sound of ‘50s and ‘60s country heard on Wurlitzer machines up against the darkest wall in small, rural juke joints.
You can hear Peewee playing guitars and harmonica with Ivan Wilson on upright bass fiddle and Dud Wash on snare drum with Pee Wee’s mother, Carol Loraine Moore, contributing additional vocals.
Jeff Coppage co-produced the CD with Peewee and also served as recording engineer and in charge of mastering.
Most of the other songs that Peewee sings at his concerts were hits before he was born, yet he gives them his own spin, making them sound like fresh traditional country releases. What else would you expect from a guy who had his first band in elementary school, and grew up listening to the Wanted: The Outlaws album (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser)
Born Cecil Allen Moore Jr. in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., Peewee now lives in the same nearby area, in Rossville. He weighs about 200lbs and says he has had his nickname "since before I can remember."
"I come from a pretty musical family," he said. "All on my mom's side have been musicians who were into all that old stuff and just played it for fun. My granddad, Bill Housley, had several bands throughout the years. "I've been playing pretty much the same stuff that I've played since I was about 16 or 17," he said.
"I had my first band in elementary school near the end of the fifth grade or start of the sixth grade. It was three pieces. I don't think we had a name. We just got together and did some local things."
He lists his key musical influences as Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, Elvis Presley (in his rockabilly Sun Records days), Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Burnette, Woody Guthrie, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Carl Perkins, Dick Dale and Kris Kristofferson.
This new CD, The Leaving Side of Gone, was titled in tribute to Guy Clark’s song She Ain't Going Nowhere.
That certainly, however, doesn’t fit Peewee Moore. He not only is going somewhere and taking with him the country music that he loves, but he also is keeping it as real as possible...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
Don Rhodes has written his “Ramblin’ Rhodes” weekly column about country music for 37 years.

Country Music magazine, Bluegrass Unlimited, Bluegrass Now, Pickin’, Frets and Muleskinner News

Everette and Leroy Van Dyke.
