Honky Tonk Amnesia: The Hard Country Sound of Moe Bandy
From the Longtail Music Catalog:
This review of one of Moe's albums was posted on Amazon.com
“Well, it really tears me up when I hear a hurtin’ song,” sings Moe Bandy, “and I’m someone who likes a good cold beer.” And there you have it: Moe Bandy in a nutshell. That line, from the quintessential Bandy song “Soft Lights and Hard Country Music,” sums up his aesthetic quite nicely, but what it doesn’t tell you is that Bandy seemed to be the only country singer who had that aesthetic in the 1970s and early 1980s. The Mississippi-born Bandy was raised in Texas and on the music of fellow Meridian native Jimmie Rodgers, honky-tonk master Hank Williams, and eventually his idol George Jones–hear how Bandy pronounces “woman” in “I Just Started Hatin’ Cheatin’ Songs Today” for proof of his reverence for Possum. Despite the country-pop trends of the day, he saw no reason to ever stray far from the hardcore honky-tonk that’s as natural in Texas as cowboy hats. You might say he presaged the neotraditionalism of the late 1980s, except that he really wasn’t “reviving” anything. He was merely playing the music he’d always loved, and since all 20 of the singles on this collection hit the Top 25, it appears that fans still loved hard country too, no matter what the popular style was at the time. After all, “a steel guitar in a dim-lit bar knows exactly how I feel.” –Marc Greilsamer

FLW Tour's bass tourney brings thousands to Branson
Jess Rollins • News-Leader • March 7, 2010 shared this story...here is an excerpt:
More than 13,000 people packed into the Branson Convention Center for the all-day event preceding the weigh-in ceremony.
Toddlers caught fish in a tiny tank while pros discussed lures with eager hobbyists.
Vendors peddled rods and reels and spinners and swimmers and spoons.
Country singer Moe Bandy sang the national anthem before a 15-foot blimp, shaped like a fish, floated around the room.
One by one, anglers grabbed their catches by the gills and held them up to the crowd.
There were gasps and cheers as the bass hit the scales and the weight was announced and recorded.

Moe Bandy Tells Houston Visitors "Fly To Branson On AirExpress Direct From Hobby"
Branson AirExpress begins service at Hobby Airport on May 17
William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and Branson AirExpress unveil new nonstop service to Branson, Missouri.
"Branson is the crown jewel of Missouri," says Houston Airport System interim aviation director Eric Potts, himself a Missouri native. "It has world-class options available for music lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. William P. Hobby Airport is a facility that's known for economical fares and nonstop flights and we think Branson Air Express is going to fit into that landscape extremely well."
The new service, to be marketed as public charter flights under the name Branson AirExpress, will be operated by ExpressJet Airlines.
"For Houston folks to drive to Branson, it's a 12 hour drive, but now you can take a nonstop flight that only takes two hours to come watch our shows in Branson," says country music entertainer Moe Bandy.
Beginning May 17, Branson AirExpress will offer nonstop service five days a week between Branson and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport – Austin, Texas, William P. Hobby Airport - Houston, Texas, Des Moines International Airport – Des Moines, Iowa and three times a week between Branson and Shreveport Regional Airport – Shreveport, Louisiana and Terre Haute International Airport, Terre Haute, Indiana.
In addition to offering this new nonstop service, passengers may combine flight segments to create connections from each of the partner airports to the other partner airports. Tickets may be purchased by calling toll free 1-888-FLY-BKG1 (1-888-359-2541), by visiting www.BransonAirExpress.com, or at the airport in Branson and all partnering cities.
ExpressJet features a young fleet of fuel-efficient Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft configured with no middle seats, more than 100 channels of free XM® Satellite radio, and cushioned leather seating.
