One of country’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas - and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty, both gritty and graceful at the same time. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean. After years of hustling and a road-warrior’s diet of 150 shows each year, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album. Now produced by traditional torchbearers Bart Butler and Ryan Gore (Jon Pardi), King is bringing an organic, timeless sound to country’s mainstream with his major label debut album Shot Glass. The 11-song collection, seven of which co-written by King, centers around a night out at a bar, with each track representing a different point of view of those in the room. With over 120+ million career streams to his name, the Pandora and Country Now 2022 Country Artist to Watch is looking to the anywhere-and-everywhere future with music that captures the essence of a Western poet who’s never been afraid to be himself.

My dad passed away at 93 last month. He was our rock. He asked for I'll Fly Away to be a part of his memorial service. I found your version and had to include it on the video slideshow we did for him. Thank you so much for such a moving, wonderful version. I like to play open mics and am going to start incorporating your version if I can find a way to get through it without having too much of an emotional moment.
This brought tears to my eyes.
Such a touching song.im so sorry for your lost she's always in yr heart and soul and she's watching over you and she's very proud of you.
Brother ♥️♥️ I feel your words and feel this song.
Heartbreaking 💔 So sorry for your loss 😢
"I knew she was gone but I saw her face in the sun" could be the tagline in a song.
You’ve done the best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Definitely from the heart. I know your sister is very proud of you.

Thanks. Glad you liked my version.
You make me cry every time I hear you talk about her because the way you praise her I've seen her praise her little brother to anyone who would listen with that great big beautiful smile she had. Her face would radiate with a special glow of love each and every time she talked about you.
I would love a Randall King and Granger Smith song or two

God bless you Randall. I'll never forget that day I saw you playing your guitar and singing outside the Amarillo hospital. Your music really hits home with me. I got to see you in Cheyenne this year and am hoping to get back to Amarillo in October to hear you live once again.

That’s heart breaking 💔 I’m so sorry about your sister 😭 Look for her signs! God will give you one every now and then and it’s amazing when you notice that they’re there with you in that moment. But This rendition of I’ll Fly Away is the best I have ever heard. Better than the original, I love it 🎶♥️🎶God Bless you RK♥️ RIH Leanna🌻🕊
Sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister🤍🦋 This one always makes me cry. I've been washing dishes, it comes on and tears start rolling down my face.
Wow brother! What heartfelt words you share so openly. Bless you for blessing others!
I had no idea there was background like this behind the song. I could hear the emotion in it, and now it makes so much sense. Your version is absolutely Heart reaching and hopefully will be remembered. I'm a Christian Country and Southern Gospel pianist, and I've played the original of this many times, but I believe I'll learn this version before long. Thank you for sharing the story behind it!
The first time I heard your rendition of "I'll Fly Away" on the Leanna EP, it instantly because my favorite version! I know you've made your sister so proud, and I'm glad that you were able to sing her up to Heaven. (Hugs)
Ok 🇧🇷
