Rising traditional country artist Randy Cobb continues his recent chart momentum with the release of his emotionally charged new single, “Hard To Breathe.” Available now on all digital streaming platforms, the track serves as a vulnerable follow-up to his current radio hit “The Sand.” Written by Cobb alongside Jeff King and Mark Dooley, the song captures the intense weight of inner conflict and the struggle to find one’s footing in transformative moments. “This song came from a very real place,” Randy shares. “It’s a story of risking it all, making the first move, and realizing the feeling is shared and better than expected.”
The release comes as Cobb—a Pensacola, Florida native now based in lower Alabama—solidifies his place in the country scene under South Sixty Five Entertainment Group. His journey back to music is one of profound resilience; after stepping away in 2012 to run a trucking company and care for his family, the devastating losses of his mother, brother, and business during the pandemic reignited his creative purpose. This authenticity is already resonating with listeners, as his single “Not On Me” has surpassed 4 million views on YouTube. Cobb, influenced by legends like Keith Whitley and George Strait, remains grounded in the traditional storytelling that first inspired him. “Hard To Breathe” highlights his growth as a songwriter while maintaining the roots-driven honesty that fans have come to expect.
