Tippin releases new single
Monday, January 22, 2007 – Aaron Tippin recently released a family-inspired single "He Believed" on his new record label, NIPPIT Records.
The video for "He Believed," directed by Wes Edwards of award-winning production company Ruckus Film, features Tippin's son Teddy as a "young Aaron." Filmed at the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport in Sparta, Tenn. on Jan. 16-17.
Tippin wrote "He Believed" shortly after the passing of his father, Willis "Tip" Tippin in April 2005 in a car accident in North Carolina. "My dad was the oak tree of the Tippin family," Tippin sasid of his father. "He taught me to 'stand for something;' to stand for what I believe in," Tippin said.
Ruckus also produced recent videos for Jason Aldean, Craig Morgan and Nashville Star Chris Young.

A dozen new Christmas songs beckon from Aaron Tippin's first holiday album. Including "Jingle Bell Rock," this mustachioed covers five seasonal classics, best of all his bathed-in-blues rendering of the Ernest Tubb/Elvis Presley giant, "Blue Christmas."
