The follow up to the critically acclaimed "Big Buffet" is a good time party record, featuring an all star cast. Feast your ears on Two Scoops' rollicking barrelhouse piano, the wailing tenor of "Sax" Gordon Beadle, the sensitive guitar of Leonard Boni, the hauntingly beautiful harmonica of Jimmy Gordon, the thumping bass of Jesse Williams, and the pounding drums of Tom Hambridge. One song showcases the guitar of Dr. Arthur "Rockin' Doc Rocker" Lauretano, the surgeon who literally saved Two Scoops' neck!
Two Scoops was my main man for five and a half years. He always plays from his heart. I love him like a brother.
-- Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson
If you're hungry for some fantastic funky fun, order Two Scoops Moore. You'll be satisfied!

Track List & Lyrics
1) Pork Chops
E. Moore
A tribute to a sandwich we get on the corner of Maxwell and Halsted in Chicago. I always eat a couple of 'em before trying on suits for that honest fit.
2) Twelve Inches
T. Hambridge, S. Baglio, E. Moore
There is nothing like the feeling of setting the needle down in the groove and hearing that crackle as the old masters come alive once again. Like tree rings of musical history.
3) Same Old Girl
E. Moore
Find a good woman and stick with her. I live on a dead end street and wouldn't have it any other way.
4) Rockin' Doc Rocker
E. Moore
"Tell 'm, Doc"
5) Old Wine, Young Women
E. Moore, J. Gordon
These are a couple of my favorite things.
6) The Place of Love
E. Moore
Use your life wisely.
7) Let's Get Hammered
T. Hambridge
The more you drink, the better we sound! The more we drink, THE BETTER YOU LOOK!
8) True Blues
E. Moore
Sometimes when people let you down, it's good to have the BLUES around.
9) Towards Josephine
E. Moore
This never happened! It's only a song! I was just having fun!!
10) Stop Shopping Mama!!
E. Moore
This happens every day to millions of sons and husbands all over the world. Something should be done!
11) Pill Takin' Woman
E. Moore
Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.
12) "Washtub" Robbie
E. Moore
One of my oldest and dearest friends, he smuggled pastrami past the nurses when my prognosis was poor.
13) I'll Be Gone
E. Moore
I wrote this for my baby when they took away my phone in the hospital.
14) Here Tomorrow, Gone Today
E. Moore
Some people don't know love when it stares them in the face.
