Randy Houser dishes out first single
"'Anything Goes' is one of the few songs I didn't write on this album," said Houser. "But, the first time I heard it, a lot of things were put into perspective for me and I have to brag on the writers and say "I was affected". It's one of my favorite songs I've ever heard." Brice Long and John Wayne Wiggins wrote the song.
Houser spent the past two months pushing his music at country radio. Houser is taking a short break in Las Vegas to take part in several ACM activities. He also performs at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort today.
Houser has been entertaining crowds since the age of 13, when he started and fronted his first band. He continued performing through high school and into college. After college, he spent 10 years honing his songwriting skills in his hometown of Lake, Miss. and in 2002 decided to make the move to Nashville. He spent his first few years. He was soon signed to a publishing deal with his first cut landing on Trace Adkins' "Songs About Me" album.

CD reviews for Randy Houser
Randy Houser is no stranger to commercial success. He has had three number one hits on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. But he became fed up with how he was expected to perform them live: especially the various computerized bells and whistles that were meant to help him compete with his peers and their outsized live shows. He wanted to get back to songs that meant something and that he was invested in.
Fearing blowback of not making another country radio effort, Houser was weary to ...
A brand of neo-traditional country music has entered the mainstream scene in response to the hip hop beats of bro country and smooth EDM of metro country. Artists like Aaron Watson and Randy Houser are providing a strong alternative on the charts for fans who prefer their country closer to its roots. The challenge for a country artist today is to find a balance between the fans and their business. A small handful of writers are responsible for most of the mainstream chart toppers, resulting in a ...
Despite a good track record of releasing quality music, Randy Houser hasn't become a consistent chart-topper yet. His new album, "How Country Feels," has already brought him one hit song with the title track, so perhaps a change of scenery (Houser is now on Stoney Creek) was what his career needed.
