On his emotional cover of “Cat’s in the Cradle,” Randy C Moore, a loyal son of Humble, TX, with feet planted deep in Lufkin, TX, joins a great tradition of personal, timeless music. This new single, taken from the forthcoming feature documentary The 50th Anniversary – Harry and Sandy Chapin’s “Cat’s In the Cradle,“ captures the heartfelt weight of the original, with the heart of a seasoned storyteller.
Randy possesses a classic sound in his voice, characterized by a warm Texas-country tone. Moore, whose career is long intertwined with the sounds of American roots music, having cut on Shooter FM, Texas Red Hot Radio, and Hank’s Jam, knows how to attach stories to hearts. And “Cat’s in the Cradle“ is, after all, a story that never ceases to be told.
Co-produced by Randy with Barry Sanders and Rick Korn of In Plain View, this iteration not only exists on streaming platforms but also as a striking emotional through-line in the Amazon Prime and Apple TV documentary. Slated for release in November 2025, the film pays tribute to the enduring legacy of Harry and Sandy Chapin, featuring commentary from icons such as Billy Joel, Judy Collins, and Pat Benatar. Randy will present his own live-to-tape performance and insights throughout this worldwide television celebration.
Yet in the absence of the cinematic spotlight, Moore’s “Cat’s in the Cradle“ is also its own testament to thoughtful storytelling and the echoes of generations. Gentle and commanding, his delivery harks back to the fact that some songs are not just listened to but felt. In Randy’s hands, this standard is honored, revisited, and paid forward. This release cements Randy C Moore not only as a Texas music tradition but also as a humble bridge from past to present, one that allows an audience to think, revisit, and listen a little closer.
