Musical styles[edit]
Steve Leggett of AllMusic describes him as having "a ready-made image. He was that good kid from a small town with a rowdy heart of gold who just happened to be able to sing about it."[6] He has said that he learned to write songs because, when he had first moved to Nashville, no songwriters wanted to offer him material.[7] His first album received mixed reviews from music critics: Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic referred to it as "anonymous country rock",[6] and Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time referred to Moore as a "poseur" for name-dropping.[19] Engine 145's Karlie Justus said that his influences were comparatively more authentic than most other acts on country radio,[20] and Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that his music has "a heavy dose of southern, country charm and twang."[21]
