In 2019, country singer Dallas Moore released “Tryin’ To Be a Blessing” as part of his album of the same title. 

Despite the song not hitting any charts, it was still considered one of Dallas Moore’s best releases. As someone who grew up listening to authentic country music, Dallas was mostly influenced by legendary country singers like Hank Williams and the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. 

Because of this, as he ventured into the industry to create his musical career, he released only authentic country music, especially with the rise of pop and R&B genres. 

In his song “Tryin’ To Be a Blessing,” Dallas indeed fully showcased his talent in connecting with listeners through his timeless, cheerful lyrics. With his raspy Ohio voice, the Midwestern singer was eventually regarded as a “Modern Day Hardcore Troubadour.” 

Meaning Behind the Song 

Written by Dallas Moore, the song is simply the singer’s reflection on himself after almost 30 years of trying to make a name in the industry. 

Throughout the song, Dallas showcased both the challenges he faced and the fruitful results he obtained after working hard for so many years. No matter how life slapped him hard, he kept moving forward with full faith in God and country music. 

The song is simply an introduction to who Dallas Moore really is. Compared to other artists, Dallas is not afraid to show his vulnerable side to everyone, making him one of the most relatable singers country music fans could ever wish for. 

Because of his unique storytelling, many artists tried to imitate his country’s outlaw style. Not everyone succeeds at doing so because it is more than just a catchy tagline—it’s both an outlook and a way of life.
