The second single off of Randy Houser’s debut album, “Anything Goes,” proved to be just what country music listeners wanted to hear. After the single was released in February, “Boots On” became one of the top country songs on the charts and by July was a mainstay on country radio.
The song is about simply going out, having fun and trying to pick up a girl after putting in some long, 10 hour days. Houser sings about being ready for a night out on the town and he’s so excited to get to the bar that he’s unwilling to change out of his muddy jeans and work boots. The song itself shows off Houser’s macho side, while the music video took a bit of a lighter approach.
The music video showcases toddler Drake Dixon rocking out in a car seat with a plastic guitar. The toddler became a YouTube sensation and as the single soared through the charts, so did Dixon’s fame. Dixon and Houser’s video ended up with a nomination for Video of the Year.
Houser, a Mississippi native, has been writing songs since he was a teen and 2009 helped him launch his own singing career. He has one of the most powerful voices in the industry and it shines through in “Boots On.” The power of the electric guitar and the heavy rhythm coming from the drums helped support his vocals and made this one of this summer’s biggest country anthems.
