Is Randall King the next George Strait? Let's find out...

[@GradySmith]

You guys have been BLOWING UP my comments/DMs with Randall King love, so I decided to check out his stuff. And hey, I like what I heard!

[@ronniebishop2496]

Nope Clay Aery is the next George. He’s just 24 and a year away from hitting it very big. He’s going to Broadway in Nashville in a month and start putting his big band together. Joey Lee at William Morris said he’s the best he’s seen.

[@aspennvv548]

Grady Smith I find it funny how you begged to not get copywrited. Let’s see if they listen 😂

Dragongaming-Kid friendly gaming PLEASE watch his “first Facebook Live post” on KZbin. Please. It’ll change your life and view of Garth... or don’t, if you really like him. Lol

[@jaystowater6746]

Listen to "Another Bullet" it is the greatest song of his by far! it is legitimate! It is not a romantic song!

[@mad_habber1363]

Also "When He Knows Me" that is about his father having Alzheimer's.

[@ultimatum117052]

Reason to Quit is another one about losing the love of your life, that one stood out to me when listening to his album.

Third this, my first Randall King song was Another Bullet!

[@CalebsCards]

Just came across him randomly and he sounds really good, that's one of the things I first thought is he sounds like George Strait

[@GradySmith]

Hahah that seems to be the general consensus!

[@HemiCountryBoy]

This guy has one hell of a career ahead of him. He is here to save country music.

[@wadeledbetter4551]

I saw him open for Cody Johnson and Joe Nichols a couple years back and fell in love with his music. He's got a great vintage sound and a fun, energetic show that he puts on.

[@GradySmith]

That is a GREAT lineup!

[@wadeledbetter4551]

@@GradySmith absolutely! It was my first real country concert and it definitely changed my perspective and opinion on the genre.

[@BizInTheFrontPartyInTheBack]

Oh my gosh, that is a concert I would love to see

Another neo-traditional sound you've exposed me to. Love it!

[@loryngates143]

Randall King is one of my favorites I’ve been listening to him for over a year now and can I just say he is bringing real country back alive

[@kyleashbaugh8914]

"Another Bullet" is 🔥🔥🔥

[@thelifeofnikkimarie9445]

How have I not heard of Randell King until this video?! Wow, he has a great voice and his style is awesome. Loving the 90's country vibes! I can't wait to hear more from him in the future and see his career take off. We need more like Randell and Luke Combs in country music.

[@shelbymorlock5810]

"Hey Cowgirl" by him is so good! He's been on my recent playlist along with Colter Wall. Also Corb Lund too!

[@treyhaddon2004]

[@massi._pizza]

Dude "you in a honky-tonk" is by far his best song in my opinion its so beautiful and so COUNTRY. Reminds me of the beautiful north and south Texas plains and the 90s honky-tonk vibes

[@thedude1056]

I really love country music, almost religiously, and I thank you so much for introducing country music that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

[@rockpaperscissors82]

"Another Bullet" is his best song and best official video...and has 1.1 million views. Great job, Grady, but I would have loved to hear your reaction to "Another Bullet," which is substantive and gorgeous.

[@nathanandamybaumbach8754]

When I first listened to him I instantly fell in love with his music. not only did i fall in love with his music but everytime I go to my farm in lagrange texas I listen to music

[@thewrongsideofnaplesflorid9907]

I love how you thought *Hey Cowgirl* was just going to be another basic bro-country beat and then was pleasantly surprised when it was so much more. Like it's not just another song about him telling the cowgirl to follow him but instead, it's just a fun song where he is just basically saying like, hey cowgirl, yes I see you but I'm not going to chase after you so "Good luck, and goodbye" on your next adventure!

[@Cougar139tweak]

Yeah I thought, oh no more Bro country, then ..... Wait, what?! is this a 90's Country track??

[@samanthashaw1113]

Why have I never heard of him. I now have a new favorite.

[@obi7304]

Are you finally reviewing RANDALL KING? I’m so happy you are bro. He’s gonna be big in my honest opinion. His debut album and the last three singles are straight country. Edit: bro you mentioned Granger finally also, but by comparing looks. YeeYee!

[@kellendobmeier9876]

If you want something more serious, listen to "When He Knows Me." My personal favorite is "Smokin' Cigarettes." I think he's sort of an everyman character, more similar to Alan Jackson lyrically than to George Strait. Now, can he find the depth that Jackson is so adept at for a few songs per album? I guess we'll find out

[@coreyclark7946]

Could not agree more about the lyrical greatness of "when he knows me" and "smokin cigarettes" my two favorites BY FAR!!!

[@adyyoung19]

Got to listen to "Another Bullet" by Randall King. Great video as always!

[@ashleyvaello94]

Randall King has amazing sound! I love his voice & lyrics, videos. Everything about this guy I'm loving. I'm hoping he becomes big and I feel we need him on Country radio!

[@ashleyvaello94]

Or in Country music period!

[@braydenoconnell834]

Listen to "One Goodbye," "One More Won't Hurt" and "Reason to Quit" by him. Those are my favorites and they are more lyrically deep!

[@elizaaaa12182]

Brayden OConnell yes!!! They’re more personal

[@Hodaggium]

Thank you for letting us know about Randall King, I've been listening to him non stop since this video came out.

[@shelby_smithkc21]

I’m so glad you dove into Randall’s music! January of last year, I made it a point to take a spontaneous trip to Knuckleheads Saloon in Kansas City immediately after work to go see him, only going off of seeing his “Mirror, Mirror” and “Another Bullet” videos. That was the start of an obsession for this guy’s music and his shows! I saw him 3 times within the year and will probably go see him again this April. He’s just a cool guy with a great sound, and I’m proud to be a fan of one of those artists who isn’t afraid to step up and show everyone that country music is indeed not dead!! 🙌❤️🤠💯

[@ashleyvaello94]

Yay!!! I'm so happy you like Randall King! I have became a big fan of him in the past year or 2! I was raised in Texas. So I'm a Texas girl. But I think I was one of the ones on twitter asking if you liked Randall King!

[@joeymann4137]

I found him almost a year ago and I’ve been hooked since. He’s by far my fav artist. Can’t wait for his upcoming album!

[@TOTALLYKILLER627]

He's going to be great

[@DanielSilva-ld6gf]

I was just wondering if Grady had ever heard Randall King. Happy about this video

[@jonjpbm]

Grady my man. Great video. Please don’t stop analyzing music with your passion. Yes, music should be fun but the best music means something. You have to keep going because necessary work. Keep on keepin on.

[@GradySmith]

Thank you!

[@shannonl.9360]

You have made me a fan of this kid. I think he really could be huge!

[@jeremyheartriter2.063]

You must listen to, "another bullet" by Randall King.

[@codyschwebach3569]

So glad u covered Randall finally! Hope so bad this music comes back around and takes over "our country" again!

[@Hawnconservative83]

Just found Randall King about a month ago and have been loving everything I’ve listened to yet. Can’t wait to hear more new stuff from Randall. It’s guys like Randall King, Cody Johnson, Cody Jinks, Morgan Wallen, Jon Pardi, Luke Combs, etc and even voice such as Chris Stapleton that gives me hope that Country music isn’t going to be changing and turning away from its roots and that there will always be tradition country artists making real country music...we just got to find it that’s all.

[@ilovemartinmilner]

This is my introduction to Randall King. Where have I been? This is some great music. Thanks Grady!

[@halcyon01nate]

Hi! Mr. Grady Smith, i totally agree with Randall King being like the new George Strait.. Love you, and your content, makes my day everytime 😊

[@GradySmith]

Thank you!

[@dbdan61]

Discovered him a few months back and been hooked since. Hope he blows up and gets some airplay. Will definitely check him out when he cames to CA.

[@xokatieox8]

😍 I haven't been so hard of a fangirl since .... Geez, a long time ago, about 13 years ago. I found out about Randall King and I fell so hard. I immediately listened to every piece of music he had, fell in love with the instrumentation, his voice, the similarity to Clay Walker, and I personally love the lyrics. I watched all videos he had on KZbin. I bought a t-shirt. I went to a small quiet concert, just him and his guitar, and asked him to play some Keith Whitley and he gladly accepted. Gosh it was sooooo amazing. Been his biggest fangirl since lol. P.s. DUDE, you gotta listen to "When He Knows Me" let THAT hit you in the feels Grady!

[@JLong3]

So glad you checked him out! I’ve been telling all my friends and on Instagram about him for so long now trying to get more people to listen to him! And I haven’t had one person dislike his music when they’ve listened to it. Glad a person with great country music taste agrees!

[@CaseyScoffieldWOW]

This video. This video right here! This was the video that introduced me to Randall King. I fell in love with his music, and that was just the start. I have sense become personal friends with him. I've gotten to know his family. I gifted him a custom-made Stetson at his concert last year, and sent him a Christmas gift. He intern collaborated with me on my pro wrestling podcast. I just saw him on 9 December about three days ago. We hugged, and got to chat for a few minutes. Just a wonderful man. When Lowes fired me in September of this year due to my visual impairment, he and Jake Jacobson volunteered to step up and take care of me provided I hadn't found a new job in time. He's just there's nobody like him. He's a wonderful musician, and just an angelic human being. He loves me, and I love him and we tell each other so. Love my boy.

I front a group called Honkytonk Special, we’re nothing big, but still love what we do. Because I get so exposed to the country industry, I don’t get impressed very often. But Randall King is the first artist I’ve gotten excited about for a LONG time!

[@abbee1385]

I haven’t even watched the whole video and I’m SO EXCITED. please don’t disappoint me Grady...

[@abbee1385]

Okay, I watched the video now and I’m not disappointed. I agree that some of the lyrics could be better (tbh, I feel that way about SOME George Strait songs (I still LOVE him tho)), and I would love more ballads from Randall King (and George!). Also, I would love to see if Randall could sing in Spanish like George can (and also more Spanish from George 😍).

[@arsravens5278]

Glad you finally checked him out and enjoyed him. Some other songs I think you would really like are "Reason to Quit", "When He Knows Me", "One Goodbye", and "One More Won't Hurt"

[@laclaircountry09]

Whoever found him was amazing, when I first heard "Tuggin' On My Heartstrings" somebody requested on my local radio station before Randall even signed to the big label I was amazed and blown away by the George Strait-like sound I've missed on the radio, I gotta tip my hat to them. Randall King has become one of my top faves of today, and I feel he's so underrated and doesn't get the credit he truly deserves. Just plain great music.

[@1bamachick101]

Randall King first heard him today & love his sound - think I’ve listened to entire Album & love it!

I remeber being 1 of the ones to ask if you would talk about him finallyyyy thank you

[@colenewberry1319]

If it was up to me Randall King would become one of the biggest in Nashville. I love what he is doing. We need more people like him that plays REAL country music! I hope to hear his stuff on the radio now that he is signed to Warner.

[@ultimatum117052]

So happy you covered him, I think his 3 best songs are Reason to Quit, Another Bullet, and When He Remembers Me. Both are different then the love songs and the lyrics do so many cool things, definitely fine examples of the somber side that he taps into.

Damn you Grady, you did it again. Thanks!

[@braxtonroberts4189]

Seen him in amarillo, and Lubbock really love the dude he really does put on a good concert

[@cpouch870]

I really liked his first album, could've swore you reviewed it when it came out a couple years ago. I first heard him when he opened up for a Cody Johnson concert I went to about 3 years ago and been a fan since.

[@justinarnold6732]

Him and COJO or Cody Johnson are two of my favorite singers to ever come out of Texas! They both bring a feel of Old School Country with a blend of Rockabilly that was so absent for awhile in the Pop Country Scene that took over! I love that people are starting to appreciate and help bring back more traditional country music like the two men I named earlier along with several others like Larry Fleet, Chris Stapleton, Jon Pardi, and a few others! I agree “Another Bullet,” is probably my favorite song but I also love his rendition of “Ill Fly Away,” and “Around Forever!” Amazing artist I just hope he stays more traditional country and doesn’t go Luke Bryan on us!

[@gemstar2]

Randall King seems awesome! Can't wait to check him out, obsessed with Miranda atm and not sure I can turn away from playing Wilcard on repeat yet

[@saskfarmerjr4130]

I know every single song Randal sings! When he dropped his EP album in 2015 I was hooked. He turned into my favorite artist and I got to see him the second week of the year in corpus, and was one of the best concerts I’ve been to and I’ve seen GnR, Kizz, and Cody Johnson.

[@TheBassmaster93]

Saw him live last year in Helotes Tx. He is awesome live! Awesome artist! Another Bullet is a great song by him you need to give that a listen.
