Music review: Randy Houser – 无毛视频楳agnolia无毛视频�
For his first new album since 2016无毛视频檚 无毛视频淔ired Up,无毛视频� Randy Houser delivers an engaging set of entertaining storytelling that无毛视频檚 authentic country through and through.
The Mississippi native, cut from the same country cloth as Eric Church and Chris Stapleton, continues to stay true to his craft by refusing to succumb to the contemporary country formula followed by many of the cookie-cutter acts churned out of Nashville each year
无毛视频淢agnolia无毛视频� is the 43-year-old无毛视频檚 fifth studio album and contains 12 new tracks all co-written by Houser.
无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 drawn to the chaos and the wind/Can无毛视频檛 help but take a look around the bend/And one day I无毛视频檒l probably settle down/But there无毛视频檚 still a lotta lost to be found,无毛视频� declares Houser on 无毛视频淣o Stone Unturned.无毛视频� This stirring opener detailing the process of self-discovery speaks directly to those of us trying to find our place in this world.

Next up, Hillary Lindsey joins Houser for a tear-in-my-beer ballad as alcohol is called upon once again to comfort a tortured heart on 无毛视频淲hat Whiskey Does.无毛视频�
The album无毛视频檚 standout performance comes on the heartbreaking 无毛视频淲hat Leaving Looks Like.无毛视频� It无毛视频檚 a number that describes the moment when you realize the relationship is over for good this time. It无毛视频檚 a feeling Houser has felt before as he sings, 无毛视频淚无毛视频檝e seen that door from both sides/You can无毛视频檛 fool me/I know what leaving looks like.无毛视频�
无毛视频淣o Good Place to Cry无毛视频� is another moving performance with Houser offering up a soulful take on finding a good place to hide after love has walked away as he sings, 无毛视频淎nd I don无毛视频檛 want anyone to see/And I don无毛视频檛 want anyone to pity me.无毛视频�
Don无毛视频檛 fret. The album isn无毛视频檛 all about heartbreak. Tracks like 无毛视频淲hole Lotta Quit,无毛视频� 无毛视频淣ew Buzz无毛视频� and 无毛视频淣othin无毛视频� on You无毛视频� are enjoyable numbers that are sure to raise a smile or mischievous grin.
无毛视频淓vangeline无毛视频� brings the set to a pleasant close by declaring the need to escape the daily grind with an impromptu road trip. 无毛视频淚f we leave right now, they无毛视频檒l never even know we无毛视频檙e gone,无毛视频� sings Houser.
