Justin Moore Is Completely Hooked On TV’s “Moonshiners”

Moore has plenty to keep him busy, between promoting his top 20 single, “Lettin’ the Night Roll,” and touring across the country with his Off the Beaten Path Tour, but when he gets some free time, he admits that he’s completely hooked on the Discovery Channel TV show “Moonshiners.” 

“I am hooked on that show,” says Justin.  The docudrama features people who produce (illegal) moonshine in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, and Justin’s excited because it turns out he might have an “in” with one of the cast members. “The funniest story about that is one of the guys on the show went to high school with my Aunt by marriage,” he explains. “And I just figured that out the other day, because randomly we were talkin’ about it, which is kinda cool. So, I don’t know, maybe we’ll have to hook up down the road or somethin’.”

Perhaps he could invite the people from the show to one of his remaining tour stops on his Off the Beaten Path Tour, which runs through the end of April.

A Year In The Life Of Miranda Lambert

The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum will explore a year in the life of Grammy Award-winning superstar with the exhibition Miranda Lambert: Backstage Access, which opens on May 16, 2014, and runs through November 9, 2014.

The exhibition will include gowns, stage costumes, awards and much more from the reigning and four-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year; Lambert's own Tweets will provide the narrative thread of this journey through the artist's life in 2013.

"The Country Music Hall of Fame is a place to cherish what country music is all about, and I'm so honored to have an exhibit in this treasured hall," said Lambert.

"Miranda Lambert is one of contemporary music's most popular and acclaimed artists, and for good reason," said Museum Director Kyle Young.  "She's a dynamic performer; an emotive and powerful vocalist whose voice is equally at home with lyrics tough or tender; and a songwriter with a deft touch for feeling and place.  Her numerous hits, from empowering anthems like "Gunpowder and Lead" to introspective set pieces like "The House That Built Me," are rich contributions to country music's storytelling tradition.  We are looking forward to taking our visitors behind the scenes with Miranda during her amazing successes in 2013."

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert is the reigning four-time CMA and reigning four-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year. Her last album, Four The Record, made history when it debuted atop Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, making Miranda the first country artist in the 47-year history of the chart to have each of her first four albums debut at # 1. All four of those albums have also been certified platinum.

Can You Still Be An "Outsider" When Your LP Is #1 For The Second Week?

Eric Church The Outsiders is spending a second week at the top of the country album charts this week. The Outsiders debuted last week at the top of both the Billboard 200 and country album charts.

“There’s a couple moments on this album that if you take the individual song out of place and play it by itself, I don’t love it near as much as I do on the album, and the space that it gives songs in-between it. I’ve not had that before with any of the albums we’ve done,” explains Eric. “I have it at two definite times on this album where I need the song on the album, but when I hear it separate, I don’t get the same thing, and I think that’s a testament to the way we made this thing.”

Eric will be performing songs from The Outsiders during his tour overseas.

He performed Thursday night (February 27th) in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, United Kingdom. He’s scheduled to return stateside following his date March 12th in Oslo, Norway.
