Justin Moore talked to The Boot about his latest hit, 'Backwoods,' which he wrote with Jeremy Stover and Jamie Paulin.I grew up in a little bitty town in Arkansas, back in the sticks. I've got a guitar player from Pike County, Ky. -- it's actually called Greasy Creek where he's from! [laughs] I went up there, and he and I played a couple of gigs together up there. I came back home and called my producer. I said, "Dude, I grew up out in the woods, but you wouldn't believe how backwoods this place is!"
It was a song we wrote in about 20 minutes. One of us just started rambling, and the other one started playing the groove of it. Some songs you write and know it's a really good song, then some of them you get into the studio and it comes to life then. This was one of those songs. I liked it when I wrote it, but when we got done doing it in the studio, we both went, "Man, this has got to go on the album!"
It's become a big staple in our show now. It's doing well -- my fastest rising song yet, so that's exciting. I'm pretty excited about the video. It was our first night shoot. It was a fun shoot. I was glad to have my band in the video. Probably my favorite thing about it is my guitar. They made me a camouflage guitar for the video. It's the simple things in life that make me happy! [laughs]
