[...] Randy Houser – Anything Goes The themes on Anything Goes are atypical to contemporary country music, which would be a refreshing change of pace, but too often the songs settle for being different instead of superior. Randy Houser shows flashes of brilliance, but as demonstrated by his debut album, he lacks focus and needs to quit occupying the same territory as acts like Dunn and Toby Keith at their worst. — Brady Vercher [...]

“Boots On” or “Strange” are the likely second single.

Rick: “In fact Randy should have given the uptempo songs to Ronnie Dunn and Trace Adkins…”

I dunno, Dunn and Adkins are both capable of better. Adkins has some great material that gets overlooked because of “Badonkadonk.”

Trailer: “I’d give it about a 3. He’s got great potential though.”

I wouldn’t complain too much about a 3, I just felt there were too many songs not worth playing to justify giving it any higher than I did. I’m curious to see what they choose as a second single, though.

I’d give it about a 3. He’s got great potential though. I was thinking this but couldn’t put it into words: “too often the songs settle for being different instead of superior.”

I also listened to the clips and was also disappointed. I like the title track and thought this would be a better album especially after Jamey Johnson has been praising his talents so much.

This review pretty much confirms what I suspected from listening to the clips a few days ago: too many indistinct rockers. I’m still not sure if I’ll knock the album off my wishlist entirely or just push it way down to the bottom.

Boo. I had high hopes for Houser. I guess I’ll put off buying this album…

Oh well! Another one bites the dust…
