He is a straight talker with a manner of expression that can captivate the most casual listener, and if he weren\u2019t touring on a Saturday night, he\u2019d be at home in Arkansas with family because they are his everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy label gets upset with me at times because I say that music is about fourth on my priority list,\u201d Moore said as he settled into our CMT.com Q&amp;A. \u201cI love playing music and will always play music in whatever capacity I can. But God, my wife and my kids come way before that. I\u2019ve probably missed out on some opportunities by not being in [Nashville] at times, and maybe awards, but I didn\u2019t miss my daughter getting a double the other night to knock in the winning run. That\u2019s more important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, modern technology allows today\u2019s music makers the opportunity to create songs over text if they wanted. But regardless of where music ranks on Moore\u2019s priority list, every time he releases something new he shows a unique ability to connect with anyone who listens. He has that Reba McEntire factor where no matter what the trends are, he never compromises the intention behind his words, and it continues to show a growing need for country music that reflects country people. It\u2019s a basic principle that builds longevity for the artists who want to last.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"f7a698d0\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"><noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.85&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=481 481w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=660 660w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=768 768w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=980 980w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1200 1200w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1500 1500w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/GettyImages-120182443-1556665967.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1800 1800w\" title=\"Country Music Stars Attend The Brickyard 400 Presented By BigMachineRecords.com\" class=\"js-srcset-img shortcode-image\" alt><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div class=\"photocredit\">Rick Diamond\/WireImage<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since he broke out 10 years ago with \u201cSmall Town USA,\u201d Moore has had six No. 1s and nine Top 10 hits on <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s country airplay chart. He won the ACM\u2019s New Artist of the Year award in 2014, and he currently has another signature song out in his current single, \u201cThe Ones That Didn\u2019t Make It Back Home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that eight or nine years ago, we put out \u2018If Heaven Wasn\u2019t So Far Away,\u2019 and it was obviously a really big hit for us,\u201d Moore said. \u201cSo, it was my goal to have another one of those because I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve had one since then \u2026 Before we play \u2018If Heaven Wasn\u2019t So Far Away\u2019 in concert and have done so for eight-nine years now, and I always end it by saying we\u2019ll send this one out to the ones who didn\u2019t make it back home. For whatever reason, it took me eight years to realize that would be a good song title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Available July 26, Moore\u2019s latest album <em>Late Nights and Longnecks<\/em> showcases Moore at his vocal best and covers several perennial themes in country music including drinking, family and loss. He will perform \u201cThe Ones That Didn\u2019t Make It Back Home\u201d at 15th annual National Memorial Day Parade in Washington D.C.
