Texas Headhunters are the trio of Johnny Moeller, Ian Moore and Jesse Dayton, and they have released “Gimme Some Love,” the third single from their self-titled debut album, due out August 22, 2025 on Hardcharger / Blue Élan Records.

On this song, Johnny Moeller steps out front, though he is long known for his guitar work with The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Moeller says:

This one came together real quick in the studio. I’m playing rhythm and singing while Jesse and Ian laid down the ‘ancient art of guitar weaving,’ Texas style, all in one live take. The song’s about looking at this crazy world and realizing we all just need a little more love. I was stuck on the third verse, and my wife said, ‘write something about your dog.’ So, ‘my little sweet Talullah’ made the cut.

Lyrically, “Gimme Some Love” is “a gritty gospel-blues plea for redemption, cut with humor and heart.” It’s a song about “breaking bad habits, riding the soul train out of trouble, and shining a light in the darkness.”
 
Following the preview run with Samantha Fish’s Paper Doll World Tour, Texas Headhunters have added a return to Buffalo, NY, playing Iron Works on September 6.
