ALEX MOORE Rounder 2091 Wiggle Tail ● LP $7.98 $3.98
At age 90 and with a 60 year recording career Dallas singer/ piano player Alex Moore is still going strong. Though his playing is not as deft as it was and his singing is occasionally a little wavery he still sings and plays with great verve, enthusiasm, imagination and wit - the latter often taking on a delightful bawdy turn. The songs here are long with Alex improvising both lyrics and instrumental work drawing on songs he learned while growing along with autobiographical images and spontaneous interludes. Alex is one of the last of the great Texas blues piano players and singers and his value as a national treasure was reaffirmed with his award with a National heritage Fellowship in 1987. Delightful music.
