His voice carries the pride of where he’s been and the heartache of what he’s seen and it still hits just as hard today. Millions continue to follow Randy for his raw honesty and relatable feelings, and that spirit comes alive in “Tennessee River” live from the Alabama Theatre.

In this video, Randy walks onstage and immediately sets the room on fire. “Tennessee River” doesn’t waste time it kicks in fast, alive with rhythm and memory. His voice is sharp, confident, and full of that Alabama grit fans love. You see two sides of him at once: the grounded storyteller who still treasures home, and the born entertainer who knows how to bring every seat to its feet. It’s more than a performance it’s a homecoming.
