Justin Moore has been out on the road with Brantley Gilbert this summer and fall, and even when they’re not on tour, the two guys share a friendship off the road. “We do spend time together,” says Justin. “We’ve been talking about going hunting this year actually too together. We’ve been buddies for a long time. I think we have a lot of things in common, values in life, and I think we have a lot of parallels in our music. Some similarities and I think that our fan bases are the same. We grew up the same way, you know.”
While some people might look at Brantley and see all his tattoos and his piercings and kind of a bad boy image, Justin says, “He’s just a great guy. I always say that I feel like I’m ruining his reputation by telling people he’s a sweet guy, he’s soft spoken and really kind, but he is, you know. So it’s fun to tour with him. I’ve toured with a lot of people and have had a blast with most all of them, but when you tour with people like Colt [Ford] and Brantley, who you genuinely are friends with outside of the business, it makes it that much more fun.”
Justin just celebrated his latest #1 with “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” and he just released his brand new single, “Somebody Else Will,” off his Kinda Don’t Care album.
