AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny

Recorded over three separate dates spanning 1947 to 1969, From North Dallas to the East Side is an excellent overview of Moore's singular combination of boogie and barrelhouse; his wildly improvised lyrics are sometimes hilarious, sometimes grim, and always singular.
