Justin Moore took a break from promoting his Off the Beaten Path album to release and promote his latest single, “Home Sweet Home,” off the Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute To Motley Crue album, and he admits, “I was a little bit apprehensive about puttin’ it out initially, kind of were on a roll there with songs off our record and I thought, man I don’t know about this, especially with me and my fans who are really predominantly traditional Country fans.”
Now that the song is on the radio and Justin’s been performing it live in his shows he says, “It’s been surprising to me to see how well it’s goin’ over out there, and how many people know it. I knew of Motley Crue and was aware of their big hits and some of their success, but because I grew up on Country Music I didn’t really grasp the magnitude of their career. So, it’s been fun for me to see that.”
Justin will close out 2014 with a short second leg of his Off the Beaten Path Tour, which will kick off on October 23rd in Columbia, Missouri, and visit 11 cities with Thomas Rhett and Colt Ford and special guest Jordan Rager, wrapping up November 23rd in Missoula, Montana.

Justin Moore – response to Home Sweet Home :49 (**red carpet audio**)
“I tell you what, it’s definitely the most random thing that I’ve ever done in my career. But, I truly have had more fun with this song and single than any in my career. I was a little bit apprehensive about puttin’ it out initially, kind of were on a roll there with songs off our record and I thought, man I don’t know about this, especially with me and my fans who are really predominantly traditional Country fans. But, I think this song, no matter where it originated from, it is Country(ish), you know. So, it’s been surprising to me to see how well it’s goin’ over out there, and how many people know it. I knew of Motley Crue and was aware of their big hits and some of their success, but because I grew up on Country Music I didn’t really grasp the magnitude of their career. So, it’s been fun for me to see that.”
