On the heels of the release of his latest song “Note To Self,” country powerhouse Randy Houser unveils an innovative performance video directed by internationally acclaimed cinematographer Jay Christensen and co-directed by Spencer S. Peter, shot in one take entirely by a drone. 

Shot in downtown Nashville, the video follows Houser performing solo from Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, across the alley and to the historic stage of Ryman Auditorium where he joins his full band.

“It was amazing to watch Jay go to work. He’s like a mad scientist with these drones,” shares Houser. “After seeing his viral bowling alley video last year, we thought about taking that concept and applying it to a performance video in these historic locations.

“We also wanted to spotlight a special part of Nashville, one that not everyone gets to experience,” the Mississippi-native continues. “The short walk between the Ryman and Tootsie’s is a path taken by some of the most legendary performers across all genres. It felt like a special way to honor and appreciate two of the city’s most enduring staples.”


Named as “one of the best voices in the genre” by Rolling Stone, Houser delivered the first taste of new music since 2019’s critically acclaimed Magnolia with the release of “Note To Self,” co-written with Ross Copperman, Casey Beathard and Bobby Pinson, with Billboard sharing the song “follows in a rich tradition of country ‘wisdom songs,’” and “Houser’s booming and nuanced country baritone is as captivating as ever.”

With multiple sold-out shows so far in 2022, Houser wrapped his headlining tour last night, Sunday, March 20 with a sold-out performance at Ryman Auditorium, with special guests Dierks Bentley and Jamey Johnson.

“Harkening back to a time when country stars came, played hard and sang truth, Houser’s show spoke more of Merle Haggard’s prime, or Waylon Jennings’ – suggesting an era where songs that contained adult lives were created to give people of a certain age music that held their reality,” praises Pollstar.

“If there was ever a voice made for Ryman Auditorium, it’s yours,” Bentley said to Houser on stage Sunday night.

#NEWSINGLE - RANDY HOUSER MAKES COMMANDING RETURN WITH “NOTE TO SELF”

Country Powerhouse Readies Fans for More New Music in 2022

Headlining Tour Continues with Sold Out Shows This Weekend in Spokane and Boise

Tickets for Remaining Dates Available at RandyHouser.com


Named as “one of the best voices in the genre” by Rolling Stone, country powerhouse and Mississippi-born singer/songwriter Randy Houser delivers the first taste of new music since 2019’s critically acclaimed Magnolia with the release of “Note To Self,” a perceptive, knowing song, penned with the wisdom of a life fully lived. “Note To Self” is available everywhere now.

“We spent a lot of time writing over the last couple of years, and this is one of the first songs that we cut,” shares Houser. “I knew it was special as it came together in the room, and it really paints a picture of the reflective mindset many of us have been in recently. I think we’ve all learned more about ourselves and the things that really matter in life.”

Written by Houser with Ross Copperman, Casey Beathard and Bobby Pinson, and produced by Houser with Blake Chancey, “Note To Self” offers deliberate introspection, challenging the listener to reflect and consider hard truths:

Note to self
A truck only goes so far on half a tank
That credit card ain’t money in the bank
If it don’t sound like a good idea, it probably ain’t

Note to self
You can’t change a way she’s gonna change her mind
She might love you, but she won’t like you all the time
‘Stead of taking her for granted take her somewhere nice

Note to self

Followed by the hard-hitting chorus, showcasing the New York Times dubbed “rich, vicious” voice from the “singer with a tremendous amount of vocal force”:

Love ain’t diamond rings
Bigger don’t always mean better
The grass ain’t always green
Money don’t grow on trees ever
Can’t make somebody be made for you
God ain’t gonna do the praying for you
Whiskey’s best left up there on a shelf
Note to self
