Sonically, the track is especially spare, eventually building to one of Moore\u2019s most powerful vocal performances to date. The production on Damn Love is noteworthy, too, as Moore co-produced the LP with The Cadillac Three\u2019s Jaren Johnston, the latter having a penchant for crunchy, often funk-influenced arrangements. That fusion is especially evident on tracks like the Springsteen-esque \u201cHeart on Fire,\u201d with its funky, staccato guitar, and the twangy groove of \u201cKinda Bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>SEE KIP MOORE LIVE!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ticketstream.streamapse.com\/concert-tours\/kip-moore-2023-concert-tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4826\" src=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/KIP_MOORE_TICKETSTREAM-BANNER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/KIP_MOORE_TICKETSTREAM-BANNER.jpg 975w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/KIP_MOORE_TICKETSTREAM-BANNER-300x128.jpg 300w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/KIP_MOORE_TICKETSTREAM-BANNER-768x328.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cSomethin\u2019 \u2019Bout a Truck\u201d hitmaker follows the three-year absence since 2020\u2019s acclaimed Wild World with a tight, focused collection that showcases his greatest strength: his gritty, emotive voice.
