According to mysanantonio.com Randy rocked for over 7,000 people on the opening night of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo at the AT&T Center.

Here is the piece:

The show: On a night when local Americana and outlaw country music fans mourned the death of County Line restaurants co-owner and music promoter Randy Goss, Nashville’s Randy Houser opened with “My Kinda Country,” the kind of rowdy, rockin’ alt-country that Goss loved. In that same renegade spirit, Houser followed with a brand-new song, “A Man Like Me.” As if on cue, the affable star threw in the crowd-pleasing Waylon Jennings-Willie Nelson hit “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” and a soulful stab at the Allman Brothers’ “Midnight Rider.”

Anything goes: Fans got a loud dose of Houser?s diverse musical tastes when they were greeted with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” as the lights went down and the band took the stage. When the lights came up, the bearded, backward cap-wearing singer-songwriter of “Anything Goes” and “Boots On” fame and his five-piece band rumbled like a honky-tonk train, setting a high standard for this year’s rodeo series concerts, especially with their use of a bona fide upright piano and pedal steel guitar.
