10 Minute Country - Episode 88 - Is the Kip Moore 'Thing' the Start of a New Trend?

Kip Moore released a re-recorded version of fan-favourite 'Crazy One More Time' two weeks ago and sent the song to radio. The song originally appeared on his debut album over a decade ago. Is it a good idea?
Which other artists have done this, if any? Is it the start of a new trend? If so, what other five songs from five different artists would benefit from the same treatment. James addresses all those questions and more in today's episode and laments, again, the mistreatment that Cam's song 'Diane' received at radio.
