Justin Moore Releases “You Look Like I Need A Drink” Music Video

With a storyline reminiscent of Groundhog Day, Justin Moore goes back in time for a wild Western showdown in the new music video for his latest release “You Look Like I Need a Drink.”

Directed by Shane Drake and shot in Los Angeles, Moore is able to live out all of his Western fantasies. Between riding a horse, tumbleweeds, bandits and bar fights, there is no shortage of classic Wild West flavor on screen.

“This may be my favorite video I’ve ever shot,” shared Moore. “I am a huge Western fan, and we shot one with a dose of comedy.”

“He keeps repeating the day only in different ways and different forms and shapes,” continued Drake of the plot. “We had to keep redressing the same set and have Justin do a lot of the same actions…”

Moore is on the hunt for a wanted lady and must repeat the same day – walking in the same bar – but in different circumstances each time until he finds the woman on the poster.

Moore will perform “You Look Like I Need A Drink,” along with his five chart-topping hits, on the road this summer with Brantley Gilbert’s TAKE IT OUTSIDE TOUR. For more information and tour dates, please visit justinmooremusic.com. Follow him on Facebook and Twitter!

Vince Gill Releases New Album “Down To My Bad Last Habit”

Vince Gill releases his new album, Down to My Last Bad Habit, Friday (February 12th). The 12-song record was written/co-written and co-produced by Vince and Justin Niebank. The collection features special guests such as Little Big Town on the Oklahoma native’s new single, “Take Me Down,” as well as newcomer Cam, trumpeter Chris Botti, Charlie Worsham, Ashley Monroe and his two daughters Jenny and Corrina.

“I think that with every record, you’re at the mercy of the songs you’ve shown up with,” says Vince. “I don’t think there’s a conscious effort on my part to say, ‘Okay, I’m going to really rock this record out really hard.’ Do I point all the songs that I’m writing that way maybe? I’ve had songs come to me as it comes to me. Then honestly, pick the best songs. That’s another thing you learn as time goes on. Let’s just go with the best songs.”

Vince will hit the road with his pal, Lyle Lovett, on their Songs and Stories Tour next week.

Michael Tyler Signs Record Deal with Reviver Records

Reviver Records is excited to announce the signing of Michael Tyler to their roster. “In signing Michael, we feel that we have landed an artist who has his ear very much in tune with where the Country Music format is headed,” said Reviver President David Ross. “The industry is quickly finding out about Michael as a songwriter, and we believe that soon people are going to become huge fans of his as an artist.”

A native of Thayer, Missouri, Tyler has had a hand in writing “Shipwrecked” and “Ain’t Startin’ Tonight” for label mates LOCASH. He also co-penned “Laid Back” from Jason Aldean’s million-selling Old Boots, New Dirt album. Tyler is currently watching as his first single as a songwriter, “Somewhere On A Beach,” climbs the charts for Dierks Bentley.

Country Music definitely flows in the bloodstream of Tyler, who is a descendant of “The Father of Country Music,” Jimmie Rodgers – one of the three original members of the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1961. At the age of thirteen, Tyler had an online meeting with renowned producer Michael Knox – known for his work with Jason Aldean. After making several trips to Nashville throughout his teenage years, Tyler signed a publishing deal with peermusic Nashville, which prompted his move south to Music City.
