CD
Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller and Jesse Dayton – three of Texas’ fiercest fretmen – join forces at last as Texas Headhunters, a band born from deep roots, old friendships and a shared reverence for the raw, swaggering spirit of Texas blues.
Their self-titled debut isn’t a nostalgia trip.
It’s a declaration.
Cut over five days at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio, Texas Headhunters deals 12 tracks of grit, groove and gut-level truth.
No smoke, no mirrors, just seasoned musicians in a room, plugged in and turned up.
The chemistry is real.
The result is mind blowing.
Clifford Antone looms large in the story of Texas Headhunters – the spiritual godfather of the project and the man who first recognized the fire in each of its members.
All three – Johnny, Jesse and Ian – were among the last generation of young guns taken under his wing.
Texas Headhunters isnt just a summit of three badasses with guitars.
It’s a reclamation.
A statement.
A reminder that Texas blues, in all its grit and glory, still matters.
It’s not retro, it’s revival.
And it’s not a tribute – it’s a shot across the bow.
Produced by Steve Chadie (Willie Nelson, Sierra Ferrell, Los Lonely Boys).
