Kip Moore On His First #1

Kip Moore moved to Nashville from his native Georgia in 2004.  Four years later, he signed with MCA Records.  And now, four years after that, he has his first #1.   Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton called Kip to congratulate him on his accomplishment: “Thanks, I appreciate it, I’ll never forget this.  It’s taken me a long time to get here.  I moved to town nine years ago, and it’s the most gratifying unbelievable feeling that I can’t even really describe.”

So where were you when you got the news?  “I was in Rome Georgia, I was in my home state when I got the news that we got a chance at this thing.  Then at midnight it was official, and I was on tour with Billy Currington, it was our last show together, we all kind of celebrated, and it was a neat moment, he’s been so good to me on this tour, and it was neat to all celebrate together.”

So how long did you celebrate? “I don’t think I can talk about that on the radio.  There were a few shots thrown back, but the next day, I just had a lot of reflect time, I was thankful, I said my prayers, and I can’t believe I’ve gotten where I’ve gotten.”
