Kip Moore was, for many, the surprise act of this year’s
Country 2 Country festival…but not for me.
I’ve been a fan of Kip for a long time and I had his debut
album, Up All Night, pre-ordered as
soon as I was able to. When he was announced for C2C last year, I was
delighted. This guy is talented and this guy has been painfully underrated for
a long time. But 2015 has felt like the beginning of something that has been a
long time coming for the native of Tifton, Georgia.
‘Running for You’ is much like the man himself. It’s real. The vocals are gritty and raw and powerful. Kip often has that badboy, wild
image associated with him and songs like 'Beer Money' and '
‘If the light starts
fading, baby don’t move,
Just say my name, stay
right there,
I’ll come running for
you’
This is a sweet song with a kick and it starting to gather
some steam in the States, with it being country radio’s most added song a few
weeks back. His North American tour is selling out and his recent album Wild Ones hit the second spot in the
charts. Is 2015 finally the year that Kip Moore breaks out? The signs are
looking certainly looking good.
