Special to The Star
Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Randy Houser brings a thrilling new sound to country music with the Universal Records South release Tuesday of his first album, Anything Goes. The album takes its title from the song that so impressed David Letterman when he first heard it on satellite radio that he personally arranged to have Houser sing it on The Late Show.
Seldom has a debut project generated such pre-release excitement.
Houser's album has been selected as an iTunes Discovery Download, which highlights a different album every Tuesday. And starting this week, iTunes customers will be offered a free download of the "Anything Goes" single, which is already in the Top 20.
All the other songs on the album—eight of which Houser co-wrote—are equally bewitching. With his intense, fiery delivery and soulful sense of urgency, Houser is simply one of the most compelling and believable voices in country music today.
Anything Goes was co-produced by Mark Wright and Cliff Audretch III.
