She had two main periods of recording activity: the first in the late '20s, followed by a resurgence in 1934 that lasted through 1937. Her earliest sides for Paramount have reportedly inspired all manner of mayhem on the part of record collectors. Moore's boyfriend was apparently the well-known bluesman Peetie Wheatstraw, who appears along with Arnold on sides that contain interesting historical facts about the music scene, as well as just plain good blues: When Moore says, "Here comes Peetie drunk again" in the middle of the song Dark Angel, it can be assumed she means business. L.A. Moore and A. LaMoore were some of her other, even more thinly disguised pseudonyms, the use of which also seems to have inspired musical comment, as in the lyric, "Alice Moore is my real right name." Her biggest hit was Blue, Black and Evil, mean enough to require three different versions to be recorded. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, Rovi
