144: Randall King
from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Randall King
Send us Fan Mail On Episode 144, I'm joined by country singer-songwriter Randall King, who at the end of the week (Friday, Dec 11), will be releasing Leanna. The four-song EP is named after King's late sister who unexpectedly passed away earlier this year. It's as heartfelt and endearing a tribute you'd expect from King. On songs like "Takin' It As It Comes" and "Around Forever," King offers nuggets of wisdom, valuable perspective, and some life lessons he's learned over the past few years from friends and family--namely, his sister. "Takin' It As It Comes" sees King draw back the curtain on depression and OCD. He's honest and real about those personal struggles while offering determination, patience, and perseverance. On the standout "Hey Moon," King delivers perhaps his greatest song to date with a storyteller ballad about single parenting, distance, and splitting time. During this one, we talk about the writing and stories behind the songs from Leanna, the guidance and encouragement Randall received from his older sister, writing over in Nashville, late nights in Lubbock, those Panhandle roots, and some 806 Songwriter Retreat stories. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
