Moot"s self-titled debut release clearly demonstrates his talent for writing and performing songs with the passion, soul and honesty of such legendary honky-tonk balladeers as Hank Williams, Sr. and Webb Pierce. While true to the idiom, Moot"s music is not a "throwback" - rather it is an evolution of an art form that has been sadly missed. This is honky-tonk for the new millennium.And Davis shows no signs of slowing down. He has begun work on his follow-up album while maintaining a cross country tour schedule that would give Greyhound a run for their money. Whether your tastes run toward country, blues, honky-tonk or even live jam band mania, Moot Davis offers an alternative to bland music-by-the-numbers. If you can listen to Moot Davis and not move your feet, check your pulse - you may be dead.
