Justin Moore says his new single, “This Kind of Town,” is as cool of a song as there is on his latest album, Off the Beaten Path. Although he didn’t write it – it was written by Andrew Dorff and Chris Tompkins – Justin says, “it’s one of those songs that I heard that I felt like, man I coulda wrote that, and for me to cut any outside songs, a lotta times that’s what happens is I go, ‘That’s exactly how I woulda said that, or that’s exactly how I’d a said that.’”
Justin also thinks “This Kind of Town” is a great song for him because it’s sort of a progression in his music. He says,”‘This Kind of Town’ to me is a more mature, grown-up version of ‘Small Town U.S.A.’ It’s kinda the next step to that.”
Justin is currently out on the fall leg of his Off the Beaten Path Tour, which will run through November 23rd. You can see a complete list of his tour dates here.
