Moe Bandy might not fit in with the type of
artists I'd profile on this blog, but he has some
great songs.
Born February 12, 1944 in Meridian, Mississippi,
he had the great luck to move to San Antonio, Texas
where he would try to become a real rodeo performer
bucking broncos, and roping bulls. (None of
them fancy robot bulls you saw in the
movie "Urban Cowboy"). The obvious
hazards of that profession led him to music.
His first single was "Lonely Lady", but it was his
second single, recorded in Nasvhille that hit paydirt-
"I Just Started Hatin' Cheatin' Songs Today"
This is why I love the early country artists-
they divided most of their songs into these
complex categories...
DRINKING or CHEATING.
(Of course Moe did write some rodeo songs as well.)
Some of Moe's songs-
"It's A Cheatin' Situation"
"Here I Am Drunk Again" and more....
Moe comes from a real honky tonk background,
influenced by Hank Williams, but mostly George
Jones. Music for real cowboys.
He seems to have a full touring schedule in Branson,
where he opened a theater, and across the country.
