Justin Moore has once again made waves in the country music scene with his latest single, “Put A Boot In It.” This track serves as a playful yet pointed commentary on the ongoing debate between traditional and modern country music.
Hailing from Arkansas, Moore has always embraced the twangy roots of country music. With “Put A Boot In It,” he delivers a sound that is distinctly different from what many might expect. The song features a unique structure, with the verses and chorus showcasing contrasting musical styles. Moore describes it as a “Honky Tonk, kind of fun tune” that aims to keep country music authentic and true to its roots.
In a statement shared by his record label, Moore emphasized that the song is meant to be lighthearted and not offensive to other artists. “It’s definitely tongue-in-cheek and isn’t meant to be offensive by any stretch to any other artist out there who does the other stuff,” he explained. The creative process in the studio led to a transformation of the song, resulting in a sound that is unlike anything he has recorded before.
“Put A Boot In It” follows Moore’s previous releases, including “Here Comes My Girl,” a tribute to Tom Petty, and “This Is My Dirt.” These tracks are part of his upcoming album, set to be released this fall. Moore’s discography is already filled with hits like “You, Me, And Whiskey” featuring Priscilla Block, “With A Woman You Love,” and “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” showcasing his ability to connect with fans through relatable lyrics and catchy melodies.
In addition to his new single, Moore recently shared a humorous take on the genre’s crossover with hip-hop. In a viral video, he read the lyrics to Drake’s hit “Hotline Bling” with his signature Arkansas twang. The clip, which has garnered nearly five million views, highlights the stark contrast between his country style and the rap genre.
Moore’s delivery of the lyrics, filled with sarcasm and a touch of disbelief, adds to the comedic effect. He pokes fun at the absurdity of the lyrics while also expressing his astonishment at the success of artists in other genres. “How much more money does this guy make than us?” he quips, showcasing his down-to-earth personality and genuine love for country music.
His latest single, “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” has also made its mark on Billboard’s country airplay chart, further solidifying his presence in the industry. Moore’s ability to blend humor with heartfelt storytelling resonates with fans, making him a beloved figure in the country music landscape.
As he continues to navigate the evolving world of country music, Justin Moore remains committed to his roots. His twangy and humorous perspectives on the genre not only entertain but also spark conversations about the future of country music. With each new release, he proves that staying true to one’s identity is key to connecting with audiences and leaving a lasting impact.
