Justin Moore - This Is My Dirt - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Justin Moore has never been one to follow the pack. A multiplatinum country star who left Nashville for the simple pleasures of small-town life, he built his remarkable career playing by his own rules, eschewing spotlight-chasing in favor of an honest, old-school approach. It makes perfect sense his captivating new album is titled Stray Dog. Mature and nuanced, the collection showcases Moore at his most self-assured with songs of desire and commitment, heartbreak and regret, and joy and celebration.

To date, countless composers and Bruckner scholars have attempted to undo the body-snatching and reconstruct the manuscripts of the fourth movement into a whole Inchin the spirit of the composerInch. François-Xavier Roth and the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne remain true to the original three-movement version in their highly acclaimed Bruckner cycle, and this album marks an important milestone in the work's discography.

It would be an understatement to say that a lot has happened since Whiskey Myers was last in the recording studio. Over two whirlwind years, the gritty Texas band hit #1 on the iTunes Country Chart with their breakout third album 'Early Morning Shakes,' earned raves everywhere from Rolling Stone to USA Today, and toured the US and UK relentlessly, slaying massive festival crowds and sharing stages with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Jamey Johnson, and more along the way. You'd be forgiven, then, for expecting things to work a little differently this time around when the band reunited with acclaimed producer Dave Cobb for their stellar new album, 'Mud.' But as it turns out, success doesn't change a Southern gentleman, and they don't come any more Southern than Whiskey Myers. Fueled by larger-than-life performances honed tight from countless nights on the road, 'Mud' finds the band scaling new heights of songwriting and musicianship, with searing guitars, soulful vocals, and indelible hooks.
