Kip has recently done a cover of Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years" which is phenomenal! It was recently released on two CD's which can be purchased via download on iTunes, or on Amazon.com

Go take a listen, you'll be glad you did....Kip does a beautiful job with this song. I think it's my favorite cover he's done. It's now on the Discography page if any of you need to see the other covers he has done. http://www.kipwingerrocks.com

I've listened to this song now a few times and WOW!!! The artistic touch Kip puts on the covers he has done really adds to these songs....I honestly like all the cover songs he has done, better than the originals. I swear, he's one of those artists that no matter what he touches, it turns to gold. I absolutely love this song.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the Journey Tribute song, Send Her My Love, he is also available for download on these CD's. Also, there are different versions of Headed for a Heartbreak and Miles Away that some of you may not have heard so be sure to listen/download those too. The music is priceless!

I listened on Amazon....awesome....I love it! You are right....better than Simply Red's version.....I like it alot. Thanks.

I have some shopping to do this Friday when I get my check!LOL!!

Just gave it a listen and I totally agree that KW's version is killer! Is it just me, or has his voice taken on a "raspy" quality during the last few year? I kinda like it -- he sounds great, but hey, raspy is so rock 'n roll, isn't it?

Thank you for the information, Deeandra. Now, if there was just some news about upcoming concert dates...

OMG!!! Simply Red is one of my all-time favorite bands & now one of my all-time favorite musicians has covered them!!!! TOO COOL!!!!


"I'll mend your broken heart," he said.
"Under one condition."

I'm glad you girls like it....I just think it's SO unbelievably beautiful! His artistry really stands out. The first time I heard, it blew my mind. I have always loved this song anyway, but Kip took it to whole new level. WOW!!! Kim, I'm with you on the Tour Dates....I would LOVE to see some dates go up.

Girls - I downloaded Send Her My Love and the Simply Red song and have been listening to them NON-STOP, I kid you not! I am obsessed. The Simply Red song is amazing. Didn't really care for it when Simply Red came out with it, but I'm blown away by Kip's version.

And yes, NEED SOME CONCERT DATES!! Come on, Kip, we wanna see you perform again!!
