Newly-rising country artist Justin Moore released his album ‘This Is My Dirt’ on October 11. The 12 songs cover topics such as family, fatherhood, and small-town life.
Justin Moore has other albums including Late Nights and Longnecks, Straight Outta the Country, and Kinda Don’t Care.
His most popular songs are “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “The Ones that Didn’t Make It Back Home,” “This is My Dirt,” and “We Didn’t Have Much.”
The new album is named after Moore’s popular hit originally released in 2023, “This is My Dirt.” He re-released this song on the new album.
Some songs in the album are “The Worst,” “Love Your Hometown,” “Time’s Ticking,” “Put A Boot in It,” and “The Getting By.”
The most popular song in the album is “Time’s Ticking.” This song features Dierks Bently and talks about how fast time goes by and the importance of appreciating the little things.
The song focuses on small memories regarding family with lines like “Kiss your babies,” and “Call your mama.” This hits deeper because it mentions the deep reality of time and the need to treasure family while possible.
Another song that is notable is “Love Your Hometown” which is told from the perspective of a hometown who watches someone move away to join the military.
The song is all about missing someone who is gone and in the military, but supporting them and acknowledging the pride they bring for being so strong.
“Love Your Hometown” is a favorite song on the album because it is catchy and has listeners humming the tune even when the song isn’t playing.
There are three collaborations in this album. “The Worst” features Randy Houser with his deep country voice, “Time’s Ticking” features Dierks Bently, and “Beer Ain’t One” features Blake Shelton.
The album is a blend of traditional and southern country. All the songs incorporate newer instrument styles but keep the old, southern rural family life topic.
Overall, the album is touching, heartfelt, and highly catchy.
It draws in new listeners while still appealing to old ones with themes that have been sung about before like family and the military.
