Randall King is back with new music and a new chapter. “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin'” is out now, a slow-burning honky tonk track written by Don Sampson, Monty Holmes, and Troy Cassar-Daley, produced by Jared Conrad, and built squarely in the classic country lane King has always called home. It’s the first preview of his follow-up project to 2024’s ‘Into The Neon.’

The song puts the narrator face to face with heartbreak and a bottle, delivered with the kind of lived-in restraint that makes that scenario feel genuinely heavy rather than performative. King frames it simply: “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin’ is country music delivered right to your ears, courtesy of the Tonk machine. There’s more like it coming soon.”

The release also marks King’s first single since signing with progressive artist development company Neon Coast for management, signaling a deliberate new push behind one of Texas country’s hardest-working road warriors. King plays close to 150 shows a year, is currently running his 2026 Big Deal Tour, has his A Long Way From Amarillo Europe 2026 Tour underway, and will support Luke Bryan on select dates of his upcoming Word On The Street Tour.
