The Boss, but make it bluegrass…
Kip Moore teamed up with his fall tour openers Boy Named Banjo to put a bluegrass spin on Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire.”
Similar to the bluegrass version they did not too long ago of Kip’s fan-favorite “Plead the Fifth,” this is another cool take on a classic and it’s fun to hear a bit of a different sound from Kip with the banjo element.
“I’m on Fire” was originally released in 1985, and was the fourth single from Bruce’s classic album, Born in the U.S.A. A solo write by Bruce, it peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles chart the year it was released.
Kip often cites Bruce as a major influence in his music, so it’s not surprising to have him covering the rock legend as he gears up to (hopefully) release a new record sometime this year.
Hopefully, we’ll get to hear a few more of these before they hit the road together in September:
Boy Named Banjo will open for Kip on his Fire On Wheels fall tour that’s set to kickoff next month.

Kip also released the second single from his forthcoming (and still unofficially announced) fifth studio album, “Fire on Wheels,” in June:
