Today, I’m checking out Randy Houser’s latest album ‘Magnolia.’ I have never loved what he brings to country music, but that changed with this album. Watch the review to see why!
Favorite tracks:
“No Stone Unturned”
“No Good Place To Cry”
“Evangeline”

Thank you for the review of Magnolia. I thought it set Randy apart from the Bro music in country today. His voice is powerful and this album highlights it well.
Your videos are informative and give me a new look on today’s country music. Keep them coming.
Clay Walker’s first album in nine years comes out tomorrow. I am so excited!
I’ve never liked randy houser but I’ll check this album out for sure
Love this review, and can’t wait to hear this record. I LOVE his earlier music, but was also disenchanted with some of the recent “radio friendly” material. I wish radio and some listeners would embrace some of the less poppy and “trendy” bro-country and gimmick songs (I remember the 90’s too, but…). Glad to see Randy’s returned back to what’s made him so special from the get-go. He’s such a talented vocalist, and he can do so much with it in storytelling! Now, as far as you go Grady…when are we going to hear more of YOUR music?? It’s been a long while!
I’m going out with my boots onnnn
Wait is this not sarcastic? I’m so lost.
I’ll never forgive Randy for Honkytonk Badonkadonk. Never!
Look at Cody Johnson ain’t nothin to it album
I’m very curious on your take of Riley green, I can’t tell if his voice is good or terrible. HELP!!
Good shtuff bud.
I have always loved Randy Houser! We Went, Running Out of Moonlight, How Country Feels, and so many more! ❤️
Love this album! His vocal throughout the entire thing is so compelling, especially on my two favorites “What Leaving Looks Like” and “No Good Place to Cry.”
Review Justin Moore, the ones that didn’t make it back home
You should really check out Dallas Smith and some of his music. Yes I know he’s Canadian, but I’m very interested in what your reaction would be towards his music.
Who are two artist you wish would colab together???
Mine are Chris Stapleton and Alan Jackson!
Hey man you should really listen to a guy named mike Blakey, he really holds onto old classic southern Texas country you just might like him
I agree with everything you said in this.. very well said. I was never a huge Randy Houser fan, but this album blew me away. And I picked out the Travis Meadows cut before I even saw the liner notes haha!

I’ve heard nothing but great things about this album, so I just bought it. So far this year, we’ve had great music from Cody Johnson, Randy Houser, Flatland Calvary, and the Steel Woods.
I love a few songs on this Magnolia record. “No Good Place to Cry.” “What Whiskey Does.” “No Stone Unturned.” “High Time.” Very nice album.
Welcome to the dark side brother lol. I have really enjoyed Houser over the years. I did enjoy some of his more trivial stuff as well but i have been waiting for this to resurface in him. Brilliant writer, great musician and a really good dude in general. Had an opportunity to open for him a few times and he is very aware of what his band should sound like live. Great live act. Love the review man! Cheers!
You should react to Travis Denning’s new song “After a Few.” I personally really like it, I want to hear what you think
Evangeline is my favorite track on the album for sure. Great review
I love Evangeline. Very beautiful vocal in my opinion!
Hey grady, ever heard Colter Wall?? Please have a listen if you haven’t.
yo do ian munsick
You should review some music by Walker McGuire. They are insanely good
Loved your review & this album! I was also super caught off guard by the depth + authenticity + richness of this album, especially compared to Randy Houser’s previous work! I also just finished my first “album review” of Magnolia here: https://youtu.be/eT1fQnQ_II0. I was inspired by you to start a channel!
Had no idea one of my favorite artists was from my home state. I’m now complete.
I found this album a week ago (I love no stone unturned) and I was in just pure “awe” I think you explained this album perfectly, Grady, and I think it will be a big swinger for 2019
Thx for your thoughts
You should check out Tim McGraw: I Thought About You.
In that song No Good Place to Cry, I hear some harmonious echoes of Ronnie Dunn …
As you promised
Great review!! I love this album and I love Randy Houser!!
Heard Randy when he was just a songwriter, singing around town, then he got his turn to step out as a featured act and….Nashville worked its thing on him and he just wasn’t the same guy.
Also, if you check out Zane Williams, could you do a review on the album Bringin’ Country Back (2016)?
Or Kyle Park’s new album:
Don’t Forget Where You Come From (2018)
Cody Johnson will go up some time this week. You don’t have to tell me! I gotta let it soak into my mind.
Because of your reviews, I’ve discovered a decent amount of music that I wouldn’t normally listen to on my own and turned out to really like. Great job!!! This video deserves 15 out of 10 points!
