Justin Moore’s New Music Video
Justin Moore’s New Music Video for “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away”. Rising star Justin Moore, known for his smash hit “Small Town USA“, has completed the music video for the lead single from his sophmore album, “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away“. The single, released this past February, was well received and immediately popular with fans. It is a soulful song and easy for listeners to relate to, touching on the difficulties of losing loved ones and carrying on their memory. Justin credits his late grandfather, who passed away in 2009, as part of the inspiration for the song. “Everybody, unfortunately, can relate to the lyrics in this song. It’s a part of life. You have to go through losing loved ones…The great thing about this song is that it will make you laugh and cry, and evoke every other emotion you can think of. To me, that’s what Country music is all about. That’s why I make it, love it, and live it.”-Justin Moore Click here to watch the new video now.
Jason Aldean Picks “Dirt Road Anthem”
Jason Aldean Chooses “Dirt Road Anthem” For 3rd Single Release! The popular Jason Aldean, currently up for ACM “Entertainer of the Year” and “Male Vocalist of the Year” has decided to release the already fan favorite “Dirt Road Anthem” as the 3rd single on his wildly successful platinum selling album, My Kinda Party. With rifts of rapidly and rhythmically delivered lyrics this particular song is a little different than the average country song incorporating a style usually associated with rap music. But the important thing is it works for Jason and especially it works for fans. “I know we’re pushing some boundaries with a song like this, but I also think people expect that from me now. I’m really taking the fans’ lead on this one, but I think it’s going to be a killer single for us on the road this summer.” -Jason Aldean Jason will be performing the network television debut of “Dirt Road Anthem” live at the 46th Annual ACM Awards, Sunday April 3rd! So, if you haven’t already planned to tune into ACMs this Sunday, now you’ve got one more really good reason! To stream “Dirt Road Anthem” now and find out more about Jason Aldean click here.
