King unplugs "Neon"

Friday, January 10, 2025 – Texas native Randall King is stripping back his sophomore album, "Into The Neon," with the release of "Neon (Unplugged)", set for Feb. 21 on Warner Nashville.

"One Night Dance (Unplugged)" offers the first taste of the acoustic album, and is out now.

"There is something unique about taking a song, stripping it down to just an acoustic guitar and singing it with a bit of a different flare," said King. "That's one of the beautiful things about country music. You can rock out with a band, or you can sit down by a fire with only a guitar and sing your heart out to the same song. 'One Night Dance (Unplugged)' is the first taste of that stripped back version that I wanted to share with all of you."

Produced by King and Jared Conrad, "Neon (Unplugged)" was recorded at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The studio has produced over 500 number one hits for some of King's greatest traditional influences, including Johnny Cash, George Strait and Alan Jackson.
