Randall King – “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin'”
‘Into the Neon’
Warner Music Nashville – Jan. 26, 2026
*Randall King – “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin'” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF36nzg4H8M // Named a Country Artist to Watch by everyone from Pandora and Country Now to Music Mayhem Magazine, his sophomore major label album ‘Into the Neon’ takes that craft to the next level on January 26, as King’s neo-traditional roots meet the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era country and beyond. Co-produced by King and Jared Conrad, and featuring 18 tracks, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless swagger, further blurring the line between yesteryear and today – even as King renews his forever-country vows.*
