Rick Moore, an ex-pat Memphian based in Nashville, has made an album of adult heartland rock that, the closer it sticks to his former home's honored formula, the better it sounds. There's some predictable moves here, yet when Moore runs thru Let Me Down Easy, a soul original in the Stax mold, it not only lifts the entire album, it begs to be covered by Delbert McClinton or Bonnie Raitt. Moore also does a tune by his old playing pal, Don McMinn, called Whole Lotta Woman, and a decent modern blues, Tangled Up In Your Love, by the record's producer Jimmy Nalls (Sea Level). Moore, aka Mr. Lucky, may not be John Fogerty, but he's got Memphis music in his blood (and a session-playing Memphis Horn on his side), which is more than luck in my book.
