Single Review: Randy C Moore – “Forget Me Not”

Texas country music singer Randy C Moore is back, this time with an exceptional original, the self-penned “Forget Me Not” released earlier this year. To be honest, when I reviewed Moore’s “Cat’s in the Cradle” cover, I was impressed, but this original is next-level outstanding. Clearly, if you’re not familiar with him (as I wasn’t until last year, though Texas country music fans seem to know him quite well), it’s time to discover Randy C Moore and add him to your personal playlists.

This particular song, “Forget Me Not,” is an old-school, storytelling country & western strummer. Its beat is steady, moving progressively, consistently, inevitably forward, with the tempo seeming to build momentum, though it’s really just content and delivery of the story-song building upon itself, drawing the listener in. Moore’s deep, powerful vocals – very Johnny Cash-like in that they can simultaneously be matter-of-fact and convey emotion – are hypnotically rich, smooth, and deep. OK, not “Johnny Cash deep,” but still very cool and convincing. And did I say smooth? Yes, I did, but I’ll say it again because it’s a poised, composed smoothness that’ll make you want to hear more.

So, country music fans, especially if you enjoy older-school country, you’ve gonna love this song. Within just a few listens, “Forget Me Not” will quickly become an old favorite for you, as it has become for me.
