"Dirt Road" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Kip Moore. It was released to radio on April 15, 2014. Moore wrote the song with Dan Couch and Weston Davis.[1] The song along with his previous single "Young Love" were projected to be on his sophomore studio album, but were scrapped when the two songs stalled at radio.

Critical reception

[edit]

An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "Kip Moore is right when he says his new single ‘Dirt Road’ will raise a few eyebrows, it may just take awhile. Lyrically the new song is country's Mariana Trench hiding behind familiar references to beer, moonlight and backseat romance."[2]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in July 2014.[3]
