Fresh off a leg of Taylor Swift's Speak Now World Tour, Randy Montana takes some time to chat with Yallwire host Stephanie Langston about songwriting, his new album and making music videos.

Randy co-wrote nine of the 11 tracks on his recently released self-titled debut album, and although it's hard to choose which track is his favorite, it's no wonder that "Last Horse" is at the top of the list thanks to legendary lady Emmylou Harris lending her vocals to the tune.

"It's just really cool to have someone [sing on your record], you know, with the list of people she's sang with. And then now that I'm on that list, you know, it's really cool, especially on a song I wrote and I'm singing. It doesn't get much cooler than that."

The son of successful songwriter Billy Montana, Randy claims that music has always been a huge part of his life. However, the singer-songwriter shares that he was really into sports in high school and even wanted to go on to play college football. Fortunately for us music fans, Randy says that "by the time I was graduating and going to college, the music bug had already bit, you know, and I was kind of headstrong about that."

Randy admits he might be "spoiled to have a dad who's a hip songwriter," and shares that although his father offered unconditional advice and support, he let Randy figure out the music industry on his own. The father-son duo even co-wrote a few songs on Randy's new album! Whether working with his dad or solo, the "Ain't Much Left Of Loving You" singer claims he doesn't have a formula for writing, claiming, "sometimes you come up with an idea, or maybe you come up with a groove or just a melody or something like that. That's the cool thing about songwriting - it's that you never know how it's going to happen. It's different every day."
