Happy Birthday to Randy Houser! He turns the big 5-0 today…let’s look back on some of Randy’s biggest hits
Awhhh yes, Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, it became a crossover smash hit with co-writer Trace Adkins in the 2000s. Before Randy had his breakthrough as an artist, he helped write some of our favorite songs in country music.
Back that thing up, he wrote this with Justin Moore back in 2008 - Randy moved to Nashville in the early 2000s, and it wasn’t until his songs “Anything Goes” and “How Country Feels” were released that he was recognized as a mainstream, country powerhouse.
This song really resonated with fans; it painted the picture of a small town and life’s simple pleasures - it’s kind of like Jason Aldean’s “She’s Country” - people just loved it.
Before this song, Randy was just “the guy who wrote hits for others” - not anymore!
