Randy Houser is starting off the new year with a bang. Or should I say banger? Randy recently released his new album Magnolia, inspired from the nickname of his home state Mississippi, on January 11th with Stoney Creek Records and BBR Music Group. Before his release, he gave his fans a sneak-peek by performing one of his favorite songs off the album, “No Stone Unturned” on Good Morning America. If you were up early enough, you could have seen him rocking the stage at 8 AM. You know what they say, the early bird catches the first hit single of the year.

In order to kick-off the highly anticipated release of Houser’s new album, he rounded up some of his pals and favorite collaborators and performed the entire album Monday night in Nashville. His Blue Room performance was accompanied by a variety of beloved artists including Jamey Johnson, Hillary Lindsey, Jessi Alexander, Jaren Johnston, and more. And he didn’t stop there. His next stop was Los Angeles where he performed at his iHeartCountry Album Release Party on Wednesday, January 9th. The party was hosted by one of Houser’s best pals, Big Bang Theory‘s Johnny Galecki, who was also seen playing the drums in “No Stone Unturned” during the show. The party later featured a conversation between Randy and Johnny along with live performances of songs off Magnolia and other previous hits. The show broadcasted across Mainstream Country station and on the digital station of iHeartCountry Radio on January 14th. If you missed it, don’t worry! You can still see highlights from the album release party on iHeartCountry’s YouTube channel here or even a few on Randy’s Instagram.

This album was created as a passion project where Houser’s mission was to make it his most authentic music project yet. Working on the album for almost two years, he spent his time in his backyard studio in East Nashville dedicated and devoting all of his energy into every detail whether it be the lyrics, artistry, or guitar work. The passion and hard work put into this project result in a purposeful, miry, and emotional original sound, accompanied by his soulful vocals that work to carry the compassion of the tones even further. Influence of his new sound stems from the combination of his native Mississippi blue-collar life and his recent period of life, producing a novel and pleasant vintage sound of Houser that you can hear all throughout Magnolia.

The album has already ranked in “Top Albums” in Australia as Randy takes to Instagram to show his love for his Australian fans posting, “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! This is the coolest! Miss my Shoey friends and family! Number 1 all genres Australia! Unbelievable”
