Sunday Spotlight – Lufkin – Randy C Moore
Jan 11, 2021
I am so excited to share this music artist with you today on the first #SundaySpotlight of 2021! I had the pleasure of reviewing one of his albums a couple of years ago for Buddy Magazine and it’s great to see him back with a new release.

Randy C Moore was born in Humble, Texas. If you know Texas, you know that Humble is a tiny town in the far west Texas oilfields. By age 15, he was making his own records. By the time he graduated from High School, he was playing on WSM Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. So, Moore is no stranger to music or to the industry. 

And while 2020 was a hard year for us all, Moore turned his creativity into recording and releasing a new album named for the town where he currently resides, LUFKIN. 

All ten tracks on this album are originals and weave a colorful tapestry of real life circumstances, emotions and thoughts in a way that is relatable. Randy Moore’s voice, smooth and warm, lends exactly the right medium for these songs. 

The album kicks off with “Stars In Their Eyes.” It is an accurate depiction of the many artists arriving in Nashville or on Broadway with stars in their eyes and a dream in their hearts. Moore knows about that firsthand as that was his life. He left Nashville behind for a simpler life back in his home state of Texas. 

“Daddy, I Wanna Go Fishin'” is a poignant recollection of a hot July summer with rods, reels, fishing poles and tribute to Moore’s father. It is a song that anyone who has ever cast a line in the water with their dad can relate to. 

Even though the world moves at a fast pace, there are still places where things move a little slower and “He’s Just a Cowboy” sets that scene. 

My favorite from the album, “Big In Texas,” is a look at life’s lessons. As a child we see things through different eyes than we do as adults. Things just don’t look as big as they did to us when we were children. Perspective changes. 

“Woman, Woman” is a deeply personal love song. “I Sold A Lot of Beer” is another comparison between life in Nashville and in Texas. It’s a Waylonesque song. Love these lyrics! “…I sold a lot of beer in Nashville and never saved a dime. I’ll sell a lot of beer in Texas and I’ll have a better time…”

“Back In The Day” is a tribute to a time less complicated and more honest. Every dog lover will relate to and enjoy “Old Grey Dog.” Told from the dog’s point of view, it depicts pure unconditional love and loyalty. 

It’s a rude awakening to realize that you can never find yourself in someone else’s eyes. “Day After Day” portrays those unending days where you reflect backward while looking forward. Another song with that famous Waylon Jennings heavy bass beat, “Devil For Hire” is a different take on Lucifer’s eviction from heaven. 

Randy Moore’s voice is a perfect blend between the late great Vern Gosdin and Don Williams. The songs on this album are a combination of great poetry, deep thought, poignant lessons and real life.

He is making his way up the Texas Radio charts with several cuts from this album, and I predict he will have a number 1 hit before it’s all said and done. If you love true country music where you can hear every word of the lyrics mixed with flowing melodies, you are going to enjoy Randy’s new album, LUFKIN!

Lufkin, Texas, a city which has a story to tell on every street corner and through the incredibly colourful characters that populate this quaint and bustling town. No surprise Randy C. Moore has made it his home, has drawn great inspiration from it and has tributed his muse by giving her name to his latest album. The end result is well worth the wait and through our hero’s enlightened and clever songwriting mixed with a Kubrick like desire of it’s not perfect until its perfect we are given something very special. From introspective numbers like “Big In Texas” where Randy goes full-blown Morrissey in how one cannot go back to the old house and expect everything to be the same, to heartfelt moments like “Daddy, I Wanna Go Fishin”, once again renewing the fond memories and attachment Randy had to his father. One of the absolute highlights is when our terrific Texan with great panache and chutzpah gives his own interpretation of Milton’s “Paradise Lost” in “Devil For Hire”. We decided to highlight this song as it is so against the grain and actually paints fallen angel Lucifer in a more sympathetic and partner-like relationship with God which is incredibly insightful and tongue-in cheek at the same time. Throughout the course of this album, Randy goes from wise man Johnny Cash boom chicka boom style numbers to fireside crisp Don Williamsesque tales both perfectly balanced and executed with a production which cannot be beat. If you have enjoyed Randy before with such masterpieces as his previous opus “Highway 59” or whether this is your first Moore, you will absolutely be spellbound by this brand new offering and will probably feel compelled to grab the first train out to Lufkin, Texas.

If  you  REALLY  listen to this album one time all the way through, you are hooked, WOW! The vocals, the lyrics and the music are a pure trinity. These songs sound like the biography of someone who experienced and loved living! Maybe it’s Randy’s biography!.. A dog, a kid, a cowboy, a dreamer, a lover, a philosopher, a sinner, a believer! And Not A Throw-Away in the bunch. If you grew up in the country or a small town, as I did, you’ll get wrapped up in emotion, nostalgia, and bittersweet memories. This is the kind of stuff, you want to listen to when you’re on a long trip by yourself or just out cruisin’

Just like his cowboy, Randy Is One of Kind!

I LOVE IT!

Great CD !! !  I could see Waylon and Willie cutting some of those songs, “ I Sold A Lot Of Beer”' being a natural.  Having a 10 year old greying hound myself “Old Gray Dog” really touched my heart. Also “Daddy , I Wanna Go Fishin’ “brought back memories about me and my dad.  John Prine and I went fishing twice a year for over 40 years up on the White river in North Arkansas.  A couple of friends and I are going up there for the last time to throw some ashes on the river in the spring.   Lovely album anyway! Every Song is a hit! Randy should be proud!  I know I am!

Randy's new CD 'Lufkin' is real traditional country music. It's grab a beer, turn it up, and sit on the porch with a cool breeze, and let the music surround you' real traditional music. Just looking at the titles of the songs you 'know' you're in for a country journey. There are songs about Texas, Cowboys, Women, Dogs, God, some history back in the day, and even a song about what a lot of musicians have done on the other side of the bar.

If you are, at all, a fan of traditional country music, do yourself a favor this Christmas season, and treat yourself to a copy of Lufkin by Randy C Moore. And while you're sitting in that breeze, tip one back for me.

We'll catch ya' on the flip side

Randy's album “Lufkin” is absolutely amazing, and by far the best I have heard him do to date.  A couple of standout favorites for me are “ I Sold A Lot Of Beer” with a very Waylon-esque feel. “Old Grey Dog “ will bring a tear to the eye of anyone who has experienced the joy of a special bond with a family pet. The first single “Big In Texas” is a vivid story of the reflection of returning home after traveling on a life journey and realizing that things will never again be as they were. As I listen to each song, I can see the story so clearly in my mind as if it were done by a master painter. To me, that is the measure of a great songwriter. I love the feel of that song. I am really looking forward to sharing this new music with my listeners!

I have always loved Randy C Moore's voice, but on this album, he's digging deeper into life than ever... from where the very best real country music has always come. With down-to-earth lyrics, creative melodies and authenticity, Randy creates scenes we can see and feel: A more neighborly time, fishing with his Daddy, a wild meeting between God & the Devil, the realities of a cowboy, recording artist, and old grey dog (that one made me cry), each defined in detail, ending with really a sweet goodbye to Nashville and then a really unique love song, Woman Woman. This is an album to buy and put on repeat.
