Randy Huston’s single “America Needs The Cowboy” has climbed to 35 on the Texas Music Charts after breaking into the Top 50 last week at Number 49. The single, which was released on CDX, (Vol 354, Oct 2004, Cut 16) is gathering airplay throughout Texas and the Southwest.

Huston, who just returned from Texas and performances at the 19th Annual Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering, was thrilled when he heard the news. “I have made many new friends at Texas radio over the last few weeks and I am so happy to be recognized in the Texas Music Charts,” Huston said. “I look forward to being able to talk with all the deejays and thank them personally for playing “America Needs The Cowboy.”

Huston’s second album of contemporary western songs, There’s A Hole In Daddy’s Rope, is for sale via his website, www.randyhuston.com, and through Hitching Post Supply at www.hitchingpostsupply.com.

Huston garnered much radio airplay and critical acclaim with his 1993 album, Keepin’ The New West Wild, Singles from that album that received airplay include “Tequila For Me (Fresh Horses For All My Men)” and “Make My Mother Smile.”

Bobby Newton, publisher of Working Cowboy Magazine, says of Huston’s latest CD,

 “From the opening notes of "There’s A Hole In Daddy’s Rope," to the wonderful words of wisdom in "America Needs The Cowboy," Huston has captured once again the heart and soul of the American West.”

Cowboy Magazine’s Darrell Arnold agrees, saying, "It may be sometime before another album this good comes along..."

While Huston follows his dream of making music and writing songs about the American West, he lives in Nashville with his wife and daughter, and is partners with his parents on a ranch in his native New Mexico, where they raise Corriente cattle.
