Randy Houser- “Whistlin’ Dixie”
Apparently, two official singles from Randy’s debut album Anything Goes was enough, so Randy moves on to his sophomore album and the first single. You do have to admit that Randy’s first two singles “Anything Goes” and “Boots On” were some pretty good music, but I am all for artists releasing four singles from each album. I can settle for three, but two makes me think that either the rest of the album was uninspiring or the new music is so good that it makes the first album look weak. Seeing as I do not own Randy’s debut album, I cannot give my most likely opinion on that. What I can do is evaluate the first song off his second album.
“Whistlin’ Dixie” is a rockin’ look at life in the south and I would put it on par with “Boots On” in quality. Listening to it for the first has got me tapping my foot along with it. I do like the instrumental that is a rockin’ version of a tune familiar to everyone and inspires the title of the song. If this is a sign of things to come from Randy, his sophomore album more make his debut album look pretty poor. As for “Whistlin’ Dixie” and its success on the charts, I think it will also be on par with “Boots On” and become Randy’s second Top 5 with a chance to be his first #1.
