I really hate that I didn't do a review on the CMT Awards but it was so bad that reviews were coming out left and right, I would have literally been just another tick on the farm. So I have decided to write a review on Justin Moore's "Outlaw Like Me" CD, that came out June 21st, 2011. As much as I hate to admit, I am cheap on getting my music, if Frostwire goes down I assume my pockets will be a little lighter. Justin Moore social media, advertising has persuaded me enough to buy his new CD and daggum I did. Some tracks on the album has already been leaked making the wait equally suspenseful and dragged out. But anyway I will get this show on the road, I hear Maw Maw is cooking lunch today.

Redneck Side- This is about what seems to be a rich girl, who still has a firm grip on daddys money. She is dressing her man up to go to a party with her friends, but after some beers he gets rowdy and thats why she loves him. He met her down at the beach at her parents condo, here comes the shes rich part again and I am a good ole boy because its 2 am and he is wearing nothing but a farmers tan. I love the story line behind this, his redneck side is his  adventurous side which make the girls crave it and the boys show their true colors.

My Kind of Woman- Stop me now. Here I thought Colt Ford "Chicken&Biscuits" had described me to a tee, Justin Moore proves me wrong again. If any man were to play this for me, I would lay my hand out so fast and told him if he didnt put a ring on it, I would need to move on. "Cornbread and Sweet Tea is where shes from..."

If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away- Love it, It has had it's hype though. Its been in rotation for a minute, enough time for everyone to soak it up and dry out just before the album came. Perfect timing for JM's PR.

Run Out Of Honky Tonks- This reminds me of George Strait, how he mentions all the city towns. Justin sings about a man who is running from his ex memory. Try to convince my heart somehow sometime some place this is gonna work. Oh but what if I run out of honky tonks before I get over her. This line in the song pretty much says it all, paired with Justin's backwoods voice makes me want to drink beer from a boot and squinch my eyes because of all the neon lights. 

Beer Time- It chilled me to the bone when he sang "Got a shotgun rifle and a four wheel drive."
Crowd went crazy and I told my baby, it was worth every dime. I might live by these words from here on out, sounds like me with about every concert. This song is just about drinking beer, its beer time! Talking Friday afternoon its beer time and after attempting to pay his daddy and the muffler shop off after his bird dog had puppies he puts them off for later because he has an empty ice chest and its BEER TIME!

Bait a Hook- This is one clever song about a boy who stole a country boys girl that cant even bait a hook! He drives himself a smart car and drinks those fruity drinks, like what is this girl thinking? That sounds like it sucks and Justin Moore is preaching it. Knows how to throw out a line, but not the kind in a field and stream book. AHH this is good, I dedicate this to every MAN who doesnt know how to swig Jack Daniels but visits the distillery because he travels in the smart car. 

Flying Down a Back Road- Justin sings about playing with what seems like his idols Bocephus, Alan Jackson, ZZ Top, Skynrd and even playing at the Grand Ole Opry but its not near as good as flying down a back road. Rodney Atkins just released a single about going down a back road but not flying down one, making a whole of difference. 

A Splash of Jack in my Coke 

Catchin' brine on a Zebco
Spottin' deer in a hay field
After church a sunday meal 
And huggin' mama before I go
Yeah, Flyin' down a back road

   favorite lines, he said it before and ill say it again, thats the Good Ole American Way. 

If You Don't Like My Twang- This is a good song in all, but I think Justin Moore should have made this something more of what his audience could have related to. Its all about him singing and playing and kinda building up his reputation, sounds like something that he should listen to before taking stage. I was really hoping for more after looking at the title, maybe next time. 

Guns- Some people wanna take 'em away, why don't you go bust them boys that sellin' crack. I am not big on guns, I have a 16 and a 20 gauge all thanks to my pop but I can understand where he is coming from. I can just picture some country boy hanging on to every word of this song because its all about his way of living. Some men cant leave the house without their gun, I never got it, is it because they feel safer or do they really think they are going to need it? Either or, its a great anthem. 

Sunshine Babies- Finally a summer sun shinin' feel good song, this is a song to blast on the pontoon while your sippin on a cold drink with friends around. This is for the country boys who love their girls tanned up laying out on the river banks. 

Me and the boys, hangin' out of the doors
Ain't got no fishin' pole, got no lures
'Cause what we're afters layin' up on the bank
They're jumpin' off that old rope swing

Till My Last Day- This song is about a boy whos had a bad history with girls, and word around town is that he is bad news but things can change apparently. He must have found the girl of his dreams because he can love her till his last day if it means going out and coming home early to get back to her lovin. When I meet this man I will swear by this song but right now, this is just a country song that I will wish the man in the story was real. 

Bed of My Chevy- Justin Moore puts out the most amazing country love songs, I mean "No Tomorrow" from his last album still gives me chills when I play it. This has got to be a next step up from it, which is heart stopping. I would just post all the lyrics to this blog, but I cant. Every word in this song just strikes a nerve and sends this country girl in a bed that never has to be made! 

Outlaws Like Me- Justin's second single from this album after "If Heaven Wasnt So Far Away' and I think this again is a Country Boys Anthem. He sings about a man who has seen it all, done it all and God bless him. He has been a straight whiskey pounder to a cry on his mommas shoulder, this shows it comes from the heart with every note that Justin sings. I can feel the passion and I think thats what makes a song, because if he feels it then his fans will feel it. 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this album, worth every cent. Click on your Itunes and get it NOW, make sure you have time to listen to every track and soak each word up when you listen to it first. If you take it from me, I recommend burning it to a CD and drive around in the back roads or just sit on the front porch and drink a cold one. Sober or drunk this album is the TRUTH and is another reminder that real country music might be headed back to radio. As for Rascal Flatts they can have Justin Bieber and Natasha Bedingfield but Justin Moore will have my money.
