Houser unveils "Note to Self"
Houser produced along with Blake Chancey. The disc feaures 10 tracks all co-written by Houser
"Blake and I worked on this record a long time, and I'm really looking forward to sharing the rest of it with the folks who've already shown how excited they are for new music," Houser said. "This album came together at a time when I was reflecting on who I am and what's important to me, envisioning the kind of future I'd like to see for myself and my family."
House will release "Workin' Man" this Friday. The song was penned by Houser with Randy Montana, highlighting America's blue-collar workers among the struggles they face day-to-day to support themselves and their families:
Morning coffee in his steel toe boots
Drink it up, lace 'em up, light that fuse
Ain't stacking nothing but some IOU's
Workin' man
Can't be late, can't catch a break
BC Powder cause everything aches
Cold six pack, end of the day
Workin' man
Singing whoa
Whatcha gonna do
Woman needs loving
And the kids need shoes
Ain't nothing left when he pays them dues
Workin' man
Whoa, where ya gonna turn
Daddy said, "Son,better listen, better learn
Ain't nobody shelling out no concerns for the workin' man"
Yeah, I've seen it first-hand, buddy, just like you
That's why I'm out here singing these blue-collar blues
For the workin' man
