It was made digitally available on April 6, 2014, after Paisley's performance of the song at the annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

"Perfect Storm" was released on September 2, 2014 as the album's second single and it has since reached No.1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

The opening track and third single from the album, "Crushin' It", is about having fun when things have not necessarily been going your way, drinking a beer and then crushing the can.

"High Life" features backing vocals by Carrie Underwood and tells the story of a money-hungry family.

In the third verse they even sue Underwood herself over a song of hers, claiming she stole it from a poem the singer's brother wrote in second grade.

The song refers to a real-life legal battle which involves singer-songwriter Lizza Connor and Paisley's co-writers Kelley Lovelace and Chris DuBois.

The song "4WP" pokes fun at bro country tendency by acknowledging the trend and lingering on some of its recurrent elements (cut-off jeans, pickup truck, dirt road).

Paisley said he was inspired to write the song by his five years old son Jasper, who -after he heard about the Moon landing- looked up at the sky and said "I think I can see the flag".

[8] "American Flag on the Moon" is introduced by a short prelude, "JFK 1962," which samples a famous speech from former President John F. Kennedy.

The penultimate song, "Country Nation" describes all the different types of people that make up the United States, giving heavy reference to college athletics.

Paisley recorded the song and dedicated it to Kent Brantly, a Christian doctor infected by the Ebola virus.

[9] Paisley had originally sung the song at country singer and icon George Jones' funeral on May 2, 2013 at the Grand Ole Opry.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes for AllMusic that the album "proves his strengths remain mighty potent.

"[21] Deborah Evans Price writes for Billboard how Paisley "succeeds on every level from the clever songwriting to his signature tasty guitar licks and personality-packed vocals.

"[22] Sarah Rodman writes for The Boston Globe saying how Paisley continues to show "his clever wit... his skillful guitar playing, curiosity about human interaction, and his nice guy affability.

"[23] Brian Mansfield writes for USA Today how "Paisley's first album that doesn't sound more ambitious than his last, Moonshine occasionally forces its cleverness", whilst he maintains "the vision to look beyond his tailgate and dream of a better world.

"[18] Jeremy Winograd writes for Slant Magazine how the music is "composed of one part willfully idiotic pandering and two parts loose, fun, and rocking party country" that's "mostly upbeat, feel-good summertime album that largely minimizes Paisley's tendency toward hokey power balladry.

"[16] Giving the album a B− rating, Glenn Gamboa writes for Newsday that it is "A mixed bag of cool country and tired cliches.
