KING RELEASES BALLAD, “I KEEP YOUR MEMORY AROUND”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Hereford, Texas native Randall King has been dubbed a
“hardcore country vocalist" by Billboard, and celebrated
by Holler as “the genre's
neo-traditional figurehead.”
As
he continues to tease a new album, King is doubling down on his allegiance to
his traditional country roots with the release of his latest ballad, “I
Keep Your Memory Around,” available now.

“This song is a special one that I hope brings you some comfort and healing,”
King shares. “Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, a
heartbreak, or you just love country music, I hope you find meaning in knowing
you’re not alone. This one is close to my heart.”
Written by Drew Parker, Adam Craig and Matt Rogers, “I Keep Your Memory Around”
depicts the heartbreak of losing a loved one, and the reluctance to let go of
the memories shared.
I keep your memory around I don’t care how bad it hurts I know forgettin’ about you Would hurt even worse I know that I should move on But I can’t let it move out No you won’t ever be gone If I keep your memory around
King most recently released “Cheatin’ On My Honky Tonk” feat. Braxton Keith,
which Billboard declared a “barroom-ready track.” As King
returns to the studio, readying his next album for 2026, he will continue
touring throughout 2025, with a mix of headlining shows and support dates on
Luke Bryan’s Country Song Came On Tour.
King’s sophomore album, Into The Neon, was released Jan. 26,
2024 to critical acclaim, leaving Texas Monthly observing
“his Texas bona fides are unimpeachable.” Into The Neon was
also named among the top country albums of 2024 by Entertainment Focus and Whiskey
Riff. The album yielded King’s first country radio single, “I
Could Be That Rain.”

ABOUT RANDALL KING:
A West Texas native and self-described “old soul," Warner Music
Nashville's Randall King has never wavered in his honky-tonk allegiance – in
fact, he’s worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading
voice for today’s traditional country. Amassing nearly 500 Million streams with
singles like “You In A Honky Tonk,” “Hey Cowgirl” and “Mirror, Mirror,” he’s
kept the twang alive in country’s mainstream while also earning acclaim through
deeply personal EPs like 2020’s Leanna, and his 2022 major label album debut,
Shot Glass – which landed on both Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022
and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far). Schooled on icons
like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson, but inspired
by modern masters like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan, King first built an
independent, grass-roots following on the strength of his electrifying live
shows – each one a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and
breathtaking emotion – never asking for permission to explore his creative
vision. He has since gone on to headline all across the U.S., the U.K. and
Europe, where he continues to play nearly 150 shows a year and hone his craft
where it matters most. 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, available now, takes that craft to the next level, 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. Into The Neon was named among the best country
albums of the year by Whiskey Riff, Country Now & Entertainment Focus, and
yielded King’s debut single, “I Could Be That Rain.”

KING AND BRAXTON KEITH TEAM UP ON CHEATIN’ ON MY HONKY TONK”
NASHVILLE,
Tenn. (June 13, 2025) – In the 18 months since Randall King released his
sophomore major label album, INTO THE NEON, (released
Jan 26, 2024)the Hereford, Texas native got engaged to his longtime
girlfriend, Brittany Warthan, and the pair welcomed their first child together – a daughter
named Paisley Leanna – in April.

that he’s grown accustomed to with the release of “Cheatin’ On My Honky
Tonk” feat. Braxton Keith, available now.

“My fans all know how much I love a honky tonk, however life’s looking a little
different these days,” shares King. “I’m spending less time under that neon
glow and more time at home with my girls, and this song felt like the perfect
way to bridge Into The Neon and this next chapter. I couldn’t
think of anyone better to join me on it than my good buddy Braxton Keith. Hope
y’all enjoy!”
“Cheatin’ On My Honky Tonk” was written by Phil O’Donnell, Ira Dean and Ronnie
Dunn. Paired with fellow Texas native Braxton Keith on vocals, King wittily
depicts a man’s maturation as his priorities shift from frequenting his local
honky tonk to spending time at home with his newfound love.
She got me lovin’ up on her, cooped up in her
house Been a month of Friday nights since I closed one
down My good timin’, beer drinkin’ buddies are
thinkin’ I’m dead Or gone awol
She got me cheatin’ on my honky tonk Missin’ out on my drinkin’ songs Wrapped up, tied down, that girl unwound All my tie one ons She got me cheatin’ on my honky tonk
“Randall’s been championing me in my career from the beginning,” remarks Keith.
“We had a lot of fun on this one. It was an honor to be asked to sing on his
song.”

figurehead” will continue touring throughout 2025, with a mix of headlining
