Justin Moore surprised the crowd with Priscilla Block as he performed his career-spanning country anthems at the 2023 iHeartCountry Festival presented by Capital One. The pair joined forces for a steamy duet, “You, Me, And Whiskey,” that appeared on Moore’s recently-released album, Stray Dog.
Moore and Block released their duet ahead of Stray Dog’s debut, portraying a couple reflecting on the earlier days of their relationship as they reignite their romantic spark. Moore previously said it’s “definitely the spiciest, sexiest, most sultry — whatever you wanna say — video that we’ve done.”
That’s one of two collaborations featured on the Arkansas native’s 8-track project, in addition to “Everybody Get Along” with Riley Green. Moore spanned his decades-long career with his iHeartCountry setlist, including “Why We Drink,” “Til My Last Day,” “Bait a Hook” and “Small Town USA.”
“When I started my career — I don’t know why because it was not by design, but I was kind of labeled an ‘outlaw,’ or ‘outlier,’ or ‘nonconformist,’ or whatever, for whatever reason,” Moore reflected on his career during a recent album release party in Nashville, Tennessee. He added as he released his long-awaited album, “I’ve never hidden or shied away from who I am as a person. If you know anything about me, if you’ve listened to any of my records, you can probably come up with a pretty good idea. …A long time ago I decided I wasn’t going to play games or pursue things that didn’t make me happy, perhaps that’s made me a bit of an outsider in this industry, but it’s also what allows me to go to bed each night feeling good about what I’m doing. I’ve never just gone along with the crowd. I’ve always tried to follow my heart and let the chips fall where they may, and I’m really proud of that.”
