Country Music People - 5 Stars "No God in Juarez"

By: Chris Smith

There is an acknowledgement on the back of the album cover which explains that for Dallas Moore this is the fulfilment of a long-time wish as all the songs were written by friend and mentor Billie Gant. The album is also dedicated to the memory of Chuck Morpurgo. Gant is an interesting figure in outlaw country music, he was playing the kind of honky tonk bars where people went to enjoy both the music and the brawl at the end of the night. He was once described as being “an outlaw before there was outlaws”, but that career was cut short by a car wreck in which Gant sustained injuries so severe it took him thirteen years

We had the opportunity to chat with Dallas Moore prior to the release of the new album and Release Party!

 No God in Juarez has been literally over 20 years in the making as I’ve been wanting to do an album of songs written by Billie Gant since the early 2000’s. Finally the stars and our schedules aligned and the time was right for it to happen now. We started out with Billie, Nick Giese and Myself sitting around Billie’s kitchen table and making acoustic demos of 33 songs. From there we found the 10 tunes that really fit the best together and took ‘em to our studio at SOL Records in Bright, Indiana. The recording of this album really solidified the new lineup of my Band and features Saint Nick Giese (Formerly with David Allen Coe and Billie Gant)
