Kip Moore - Up All Night

Ok, I decided to review the debut project from new artist Kip Moore, Up All Night. In a one word review, "WOW" would sum it up, in a three word review, "GO BUY IT". That said, I'm going to say a little more about it.
Kip previewed his album with a few select singles that quickly excited the country music community. I don't think there was anyone that wasn't obsessed with "Somethin' 'bout a Truck". Driven by a solid beat, pounded home by lyrics that hit home to every country boy the song was a surefire hit. Who doesn't like trucks, girls, and ice cold drinks?
Moving on, "Mary was the Marrying Kind" reminds us that writing what you know still works. Written about a girl he grew up with, who married one of his close friends. And as the story goes, youthful eagerness blinds him until she's taken.
The next single released was "Hey Pretty Girl". This is probably one of my favorite songs. It takes you on a journey, from love at first sight to a reflective ending at the pearly gates. All in all a beautiful teaser for the rest of the album.
The rest of the album lives up to the hype set up by the singles. It's got it all, youthful exuberence(Reckless), heartache and moving on (Where Are You Tonight, Fly Again, Everything But You), love (Hey Pretty Girl, Up All Night) drinking songs (Beer Money, Somethin' 'Bout a Truck) and even a spiritual song you can play your for your mom (Faith When I'm Down).
So, for a debut album, I don't think Kip Moore could have done much better. Every song is well written, and super catchy. There's easily 2 more singles on the album (Motorcycle, Where Are You Tonight).
So, all that said, This album is an easy 8/10 and should definitely be in your collection. You can buy it here.
