He's going to take off and be a household name." But until then, Moore will con tinue to bring his explosive stage show across the nation. "We concentrate mostly cm the album during the performance," Supernaw continued from Page 3 acceptance as a new band in Texas can he challenging because the crowd can either be great or difficult. "When you're a band coming up,if you play original songs they get mad at you 'causc-They can't dance, they can't sing along with it," he said. "It's real hard for bands to play original music. Once you're accepted for your original music, it's great." After many miles and hard work, Supernaw original music has gained the acceptance it de serves and the interest of the Nashville recording companies. He earned a record contract from BNA entertainment and re leased his debut album, "Red and Rio Grande." Supernaw also showcased his songwriting talent by including four songs he wrote on the new album, including his first number one single "Reno." "I thought 'Reno' was a hit from the night we wrote it," Su pernaw said. "There are certain songs that you write and you think there's chance and there are certain songs that you write and said Moore, who will play at the Stafford Opera House tonight. "But it really comes to life. There is no shtick. . . no gimmicks; it's a lot of emotion." And according to Moore, this emotional energy generated in the show eventually starts to flow back and forth between the stage and the crowd. "Exponentially it keeps grow ing up to the point of a cosmic or gasm," Moore said. "The energy just transcends." you think that's it." The next release from the al bum, "I Don't Call Him. Daddy," is a stirring song about the rela tionship between a divorced fa ther and his son. Written by Reed Nielsen who penned "Half Enough" for Lorrie Morgan, this song has the potential to be anoth er big hit for Supernaw. Other songs to listen for on the new album include the title cut, "Red and Rio Grande," about liv ing in Texas and being proud of it; "Daddy's Girl" about a spoiled daughter; and the high spirited "You're Gonna Bring Back Cheatin' Songs." Supernaw's favorite song on the album is the artistically craft ed "Carousel." He said he got the idea for the song while watching a carousel scene on TV. Supernaw said, "1 was just like that kid on that carousel, and all I did is go around in circles just try ing to catch that horse in front of me and I couldn't catch it. That song was more like painting a pic ture than writing a song." But, Supernaw's music is no longer going around in circles. He has now grabbed the reins and is racing to the top of the charts and packing the dance halls. He continued from Page 4 cowering, barefoot-and-pregnant kind of female always seen on screen. Yet sadly, "The Real McCoy" won't break through the guarded Hollywood floodgates allowing a stream of woman-oriented films to flow. Due to the ineptness of screen writers William Davies and Wi'Ham Osborne ("Stop or My Mom Will Shoot"), this film can't hope to cause a trickle. Terence Stamp is Georgia criminal Jack Schmidt, a wealthy and sinister thief who pressures a newly paroled McCoy to lead a looting of the Atlanta Union Bank. After much resistance, she finally agrees to the dirty deal when Schmidt kidnaps her only son, Patrick (Zach English). She turns to the task, recruiting J.T. Barker ( Val Kilmer) as a driver, and eventually plots her complex plan to steal the bank's 18 million dollars. The intricate details of the scheme actually warrant a little attention, but unfortunately the characters themselves do not. Schmidt and his henchmen, void of any depth, stay two-di- mensionally evil throughout the film. While McCoy, the most de veloped character, is still so shal low it's sad. She never strays from the righteous way even when continually tempted and persuaded to give up her ideals. Even the amazingly talented Kilmer, who brings a little laugh ter with his bumbling illegal an tics, cannot bring life to his char acter. The film just ends up being a boring story about people rob bing a bank. What a pity. is touring all over Texas from Ft. Worth to Austin to Houston, and is about to begin a tour of the Northeast and Canada. Supernaw made his first con cert appearance in the Bryan-Col- lege Station area Saturday at the Texas Hall of Fame. The crowd packed the stage and danced for hours as Supernaw gave a dy namic and energetic show of new country songs and old honky-tonk classics. Supernaw performed many hits from "Red and Rio Grande;" he also joined the crowd and stood on a table for a rowdy ren dition of "You Never Even Call Me By My Name." In addition, Supernaw allowed the band to showcase their many singing and instrumental talents including a little fast Texas fid dling and some hot Cajun accor dion music. Supernaw may be a newcomer to country music, but he knows how to put on a fantastic show and write tremendous songs. Supernaw said he has made a commitment to country music. "I like country to be country, pop to be pop, and blues to be blues - the main thing is, I like music if it's got heart and soul."
