This could be the biggest year of Randy Houser’s entire life! Two weeks ago, the 43-year-old dropped his 5th studio album titled Magnolia. However, the big news does not stop there. The “What Whiskey Does” singer excited his fans recently when he announced his plans to drop an accompanying movie of the same name! Although the 12 track collection was originally slated to hit the shelves in November, Houser was forced to postpone the release date. “A lot of the shooting was going on down in Louisiana, South Carolina and the Houston area, when the hurricanes were coming,” Houser told Taste of Country. So all of our shooting schedules got pushed back, and there was really no reason to put the album out without the other big piece that goes with it.”
Of course, the movie and album get their name from the beautiful state flower of Mississippi, where Randy Houser was born. Also, the movie is set in Mississippi, and follows the two main characters, Noah and Ana, through a rocky relationship. Houser’s character doubles as a bartender at the local dive bar, as well as a performer.
“Magnolia tells my story but also tells the story of running away from something while not knowing exactly what you’re running to,” Houser added. “As I got into the groove of creating this album, the story became so vivid in my mind that I realized it had to lived through more than just a body of music and become a film. That’s exactly what we created…a film about running towards your truth.”
Although dropping a new film and album are huge accomplishments, neither will be the country artist’s biggest achievement in 2019. I mean, how can one top having a child? That’s right! Randy Houser and his wife Tatiana are having their first child together. Tatiana is due in June! The couple, who got married in 2016, could not be more excited about their child’s arrival! You can sense the pride and excitement through Houser’s Instagram caption…

“What Whiskey Does” Lyrics
I’m gon’ light one up and sit right here
I’m gon’ drink this hole in the wall out of beer
I’m gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
I’m gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Well, maybe it’ll make me lose my mind
Well, maybe it’ll help me forget this time
Well, maybe it’ll put my fist through the wall
Make me pick up the phone and give you a call
Maybe it’ll take me somewhere I’ve never been
Make the world stand still, and make the whole room spin
Maybe make me dance, make me cry
Hell, I don’t know, but I know tonight
I’m gon’ light one up and sit right here
I’m gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I’m gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Well maybe it’ll buy this bar a round
Or turn my ass upside down
Maybe it’ll make me a fly on the wall
Or stand me up ten feet tall
Maybe it’ll take me to a better place
And put a smile back on my face
Maybe it’ll make me hate myself
Or fall in love with somebody else
But I’m gon’ light one up and sit right here
I’m gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I’m gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
And maybe it’ll talk me off the ledge I’ve been on lately
Maybe it’ll heal me, maybe it’ll kill me, yeah, maybe
But I’m gon’ light one up and sit right here
And drink this hole in the wall out of beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I’m gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
But sometimes I sit here just because
I wanna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Be sure to share this news with other Randy Houser fans!
