Justin Moore Says He Won't Chase Trends, Will Keep Making 'Traditional Country'

Justin Moore is delighted that "classic country" has "somewhat swung back in our favor" and is sticking to his genre.

Moore told Big Machine that he was fortunate to be signed in 2007 but that country music evolved into more pop and hip-hop over the next decade, which wasn't his style.

Moore wondered if he “[could] hang in here doing what we're doin'.” “We rode the wave in the midst of our career, and we got to continue makin' traditional country,” he says, noting that Luke Combs, Carly Pearce, and Jon Pardi showed that "traditional country" can still be popular on the radio.

Do you think both traditional country and more modern country sounds can exist within the genre?
