Oct. 13, 2008 — Randy Houser knows a thing or two about writing songs, since he was one-half of the writing team that created Trace Adkins’ "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."
As a singer, Randy used his ability to identify a well-written song when he found "Anything Goes," which has quickly helped him build a national identity.
"I heard the second verse of the song where it talks about looking for your blue jeans on a stranger’s bedroom floor," he told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "A lot of people lose loved ones, or have a breakup, or a boyfriend and girlfriend split up, or a husband and a wife split up, and then you find yourself doing things that you normally wouldn’t do to mask the pain or to keep from dealing with your own feelings for a long time. It’s just that piece of a person’s life I’d never heard described in a song the way the writers, Brice Long and John Wiggins, described it."
"Anything Goes" is currently at No. 24 on the Country Aircheck singles chart, and it’s been tabbed as the title for Randy’s debut album, which comes out Nov. 18.
