BLUE STEEL RECORDS INTRODUCES LATHAN MOORE WITH DEBUT CD

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 2, 2010)—Blue Steel Records will formally introduce its latest product of musical work from the young and talented Illinois-born, Lathan Moore. Moore’s debut CD, entitled LOVE IN YOUR LIFE, is available via all major digital outlets now. A well-rounded blend of honky tonk jams and odes to childhood dreams and young love, LOVE IN YOUR LIFE* (produced by Norro Wilson and Rick Holt) is a sundry of life-like tales, heartfelt ballads and up-tempo tracks with comic relief. Featuring two co-writes and songs crafted by Kevin Mason, Neil Thrasher, Rivers Rutherford and Tony Martin, Moore’s Blue Steel introduction will lure in country music lovers new and old. "He's good looking. He's got a genuine personality. He's a great singer," producer Norro Wilson introduces. "He's a complete package; so, he must be the real thing. What a concept in our business!" His standout ballad “You Can’t Leave Me Like This” (David Berg/Deanna Bryant/Rivers Rutherford), centering around an unrequited, elementary, young love spawned between an idealistic boy and a free-spirited girl, Lathan’s sincere vocals move the track from a typical love song to a genuine tale of love lost. “Cornfield Cadillac” (Marty Brown/Marty Brown, Jr./Greg Winkler) is a simply sweet, playful ditty that is a reflection of Lathan’s gentler, child-like imagination; while the humorous “Shot Down” (Keith Ridenour/Richie Supa/John Lenons) has all the get-up-and-go, elbow-bending ingredients to become a honky tonk staple. “Lathan is a young man with an old soul for traditional country music. His performances, songs and musical style speak loud and clear to the country audience,” Blue Steel Records label head Steve Pope explains. “His voice and material are a rich tapestry of the artists he admires and he’s just a footstep away from stepping into their shoes as a successful career artist.” Lathan Moore is quintessential country. Raised in Harrisburg, Illinois, a mining community, Moore values family, music and hard work. His journey has taken him from Illinois to Texas to Tennessee where he’s settled in to make music his life. Moore was courted by a number of labels over the last few years; he found a home at Blue Steel Records (formerly J&V Records) where he signed with the go-getting indie label in 2008. He will release his first single from the CD, entitled “Beautiful Girl” written Wil Nance, Casey Beathard and Buddy Brock, in March (CDX 495/3/15/2010) The beat goes on for Blue Steel Records. Making waves with the single release “Don’t Get No Better Than That,” from duo Burns & Poe, to the full-length release ONLY TIME WILL TELL from ingénue Anna Garrott, Moore’s LOVE IN YOUR LIFE reinforces Blue Steel’s foundation. “When we started Blue Steel Records a few years ago, we hoped we’d have this kind of talent with us,” Pope added. “Lathan, Burns & Poe and Anna Garrott have set the bar high with their talents, dedication and professionalism; folks should get excited about what’s coming outta Blue Steel Records!”
