Single Review of Randy C Moore: “Cat’s in the Cradle”

Here’s something you probably never knew you needed. It’s a country version of “Cat’s in the Cradle“! This recording, by notable Texas country music artist Randy C Moore, delivers the poignance of Harry Chapin’s megahit original but with a country music cadence and slight drawl that, if anything, serves to further emphasizes the song’s earnestness. Randy’s rendition is based in classic country but with fresh-feeling production that doesn’t limit its appeal to old-school country music fans.

When played side-by-side with Chapin’s original, the songs differ a little more than is initially apparent, which makes Randy’s effort even more impressive. In any case, Randy C Moore’s cover of “Cat’s in the Cradle” is something country music fans should hear; it’ll be a worthy addition to your collections and a welcome entry in your playlists.
