Records) and steadily moving up
the diart. 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.

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.

Worth to Austin to Houston, and

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."
