Justin Moore is a huge fan of 90’s country, and growing up, he was a huge fan of fellow Arkansan, Tracy Lawrence. Now that Tracy and Justin are touring together on the Late Nights and Longnecks Tour, Justin says, “For me to have the chance to go out and tour with Tracy Lawrence, who I’ve looked up to for so long, is just mind boggling to me. And not only was I a huge fan of his music growing up, but he was also from Arkansas so that magnified it even more, you know.”
Justin remembers what a huge star Tracy was to him and his friends in Arkansas when he was at the height of his career in the 90’s, and he says, “I think I embarrassed him when I told him, I said, ‘Man, you were like Elvis in Arkansas.’”
So now to be on tour with Tracy, to have recorded a duet with him on one of Tracy’s album, and to have become friends with him “is crazy for me,” says Justin. If you would’ve told me this 20 years ago I told you you were nuts but certainly something that I’ll always remember.”
The Late Nights and Long Necks Tour is named after Justin’s latest album, which features his current single, “Why We Drink.”
Justin Moore – touring with Tracy Lawrence :40
“For me to have the chance to go out and tour with Tracy Lawrence, who I’ve looked up to for so long, is just mind boggling to me. And not only was I a huge fan of his music growing up, but he was also from Arkansas so that magnified it even more, you know. I think I embarrassed him when I told him, I said, ‘Man, you were like Elvis in Arkansas.’ He’s one of those guys I feel like I have the chance to learn a lot from and now to, over the last four or five, six years, or whatever it’s been, become friends with him and got to do a duet with him on one of his albums a couple of years back, and now be touring with him is crazy for me. If you would’ve told me this 20 years ago I told you you were nuts but certainly something that I’ll always remember.”
