Justin Moore’s latest single, “This Kind of Town,” is the latest release off his Off the Beaten Path album. If you’ve listened to the entire album then you know Justin managed to stretch out a little as an artist, but he says, “It was my goal on this album to stay true to who I am as artist, and the fact that I love traditional Country. But, at the same time, I had to grow as an artist. The fans are changin’ and so you gotta keep changin’ along with it.”
Justin says it will always be important to remember the kind of music that got him to this point in his career, but he believes there are ways to grow while still honoring that. “This is definitely the most diverse album I’ve done,” he says. “The nucleus of this album is still what people are accustomed to hearin’ from me, but maybe a little fresher soundin’.”
Justin is preparing to join Miranda Lambert on her Certified Platinum Tour, which kicks off this Thursday, January 15th, in Evansville, Indiana.

Justin Moore – true to who I am :31
“It was my goal on this album to stay true to who I am as artist, and the fact that I love traditional Country. But, at the same time, I had to grow as an artist. The fans are changin’ and so you gotta keep changin’ along with it. But the trick was again, tryin’ to do that and be what it is that’s got me to this point. This is definitely the most diverse album I’ve done. The nucleus of this album is still what people are accustomed to hearin’ from me, but maybe a little fresher soundin’.”
