Randy Houser will release his 12-track sophomore studio album, They Call Me Cadillac, on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 on Show Dog-Universal Music. The release follows his critically-acclaimed 2008 debut Anything Goes, an album that positioned him as one of the top new artists to emerge in the format, with its Top 5 smash “Boots On” earning him Country Aircheck’s No. 1 most played New Artist of 2009 honor.

“I put my heart into this record,” says Houser. “We went into the studio with a direction in mind, conceptually, for the album, and the result is something I’m really proud of. I think people are ready to hear real country music again, and I’m one of them.”

“Real country music” is a sentiment that has been echoed by critics like Los Angeles Times’ Randy Lewis who wrote Houser adds “grit to the genre” and Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Chuck Yaraborough who went on to draw comparison to one of country’s most famous traditionalists stating that Houser is “reminiscent of the late, great Waylon Jennings”—a resemblance that he is proud to convey. In fact, Houser will lend his vocals to The Waylon Project honoring Jennings later this year performing “I’m a Ramblin’ Man.”

With the backbone of Cadillac focusing on his roots, Houser delivers tunes that are a continuation of rich lyrical hits like “Anything Goes,” his debut single which catapulted into the Top 20 after an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. His current single “I’m All About It” from the forthcoming release is a simple, fun, self-penned cut that spotlights the way a woman can make a man feel. It’s a song that Houser wrote a few years ago and specifically recorded to be the lead single from the album. It joins supremely country songs like “Man Like Me” and rocking, toe-tapping “Whistlin’ Dixie,” a tune that has already generated over 100,000 in digital single sales.

Cadillac’s dynamic track list includes contributions from writers such as Brice Long, who also penned Houser’s debut single and title track, “Anything Goes,” along with Mark D. Sanders contributing to the current single, “I’m All About It” (writer for “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack). Womack subsequently sings the background vocals on “Addicted.” The album was produced by Cliff Audretch and Mark Wright.

1 “Lowdown and Lonesome”

Recently dubbed “a crowd pleaser” by the New York Times, Houser will make a series of appearances in support of the new album before joining Gary Allan on the “Get Off on the Pain” Tour commencing later this fall with good friend Jerrod Niemann. Known to many as a road warrior with outlets like Pollstar dubbing him “the affable live performer who put[s] on that marathon show,” Houser is well on his way to logging over 150 dates in 2010 including a performance at CMA Music Fest’s LP Field on June 12.

Houser is currently nominated for the 2010 CMT Music Awards’ fan voted Nationwide® On Your Side® Award that is given to the top new country music star. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena beginning at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT during the CMT Music Awards broadcast.
