Randy Houser Calls On Miranda Lambert For Reimagined Version Of “Still That Cowboy”
Randy Houser is putting a new twist on "Still That Cowboy, " a cut from his 2022 record Note To Self. And partnering with Miranda Lambert is a match made in heaven.
Over the past year, Houser has been going back into his archives and reimagining some of his older tracks. This is the third tune that Houser is giving a little facelift off his sixth studio record, releasing a secondary version of "Rub A Little Dirt On It" with the addition of Riley Green and "Country Round Here" with Justin Moore.
Houser is doing it again today, looping in Texas native, Miranda Lambert, to give "Still That Cowboy" new life.
"I always wanted to have Miranda sing on this song because I could hear her voice on it with me. I didn’t have the guts to ask for a long time I guess but she’s just incredible. One of my favorite singers and favorite people. I’m so appreciative of her singing on it. She sounds like an angel!"
Miranda adds:
“Randy has been a friend for a long time, yet we’ve never recorded one together. I have loved his voice for forever and am honored he asked me to sing on ‘Still That Cowboy.’”
"Still That Cowboy" is a sweet love song where Houser sings about hoping the girl he is falling in love with has the same feelings for him. He hopes that she wakes up and chooses him every day as he chooses her. He hopes that as they build a life together and as life throws twists and turns at them, he is "Still That Cowboy" she wants to be with.
"You were dressed in white on a champagne nightWe were drunk on an I do kissFunny how the honeymoon fades, all the suddenYou're a kid with a couple kidsYeah, the minutes get a little bit lessAnd the missing us gets a little moreBut I can't get you out of my headAnd I hope I'm running through yoursAnd that I'm
Still that cowboy that stole your heartStill that right one you chose from the startAnd when the nights get long and the years roll byWhen you wake up and you look at meI hope I'm still that cowboy that rode up in your dreams, yeah..."
Lambert is the powerful female vocalist that I never knew this song needed. I've always loved the original cut of the track, but having her support Houser through the chorus and on a few lines in each verse amps up the meaning of the lyrics. Having a female perspective on the track without significantly changing the original composition makes the listener feel that the woman Houser sings of has the same hopes for the longevity of their relationship. It is almost as though Lambert hopes she's "Still That Cow(girl)" her lover chooses to be with daily.
This new collaboration, along with the previously released duets and another one still on the way, will be released a part of Houser's Note To Self Deluxe album, arriving January 2025.
I am sure you'll find this one repeat like it has been for me all morning.
