Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen's "All I Wanna Do Is Drink" is #1!

Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen's infectious track "All I Wanna Do is Drink," featured on their Hold My Beer Vol. 4 EP, has achieved remarkable success, maintaining the #1 spot on the CDX Texas Traction chart for an impressive ten weeks and recently clinching the top position on the T3R chart.

The dynamic duo has been collaborating for nearly a decade, and their latest release continues to showcase their undeniable chemistry. This six-track EP, released earlier this year, has garnered rave reviews from both fans and critics alike, solidifying their status in the country music scene.

The journey began in 2015 with the release of Hold My Beer, Vol. 1, followed by Vol. 2 in 2020, and the third installment just last year. Each project has built on the last, with Rogers and Bowen seamlessly trading vocals and harmonizing, while offering their unique, time-honored perspectives on country life.

In discussing their latest EP, Bowen expressed his enthusiasm: "Randy and I have a blast with these records, and I hope fans can feel that energy when they listen. Just two buddies hanging out, drinking some beers and making music. Lots of fun and laughs, and I think that is apparent with each track.”

Rogers added, “Proud of Wade for taking the reins on this project. I just sat back and popped cold ones. Seriously though, his ear and direction fueled this album.”

As with their previous releases, Rogers and Bowen wrote and produced all of Vol. 4, collaborating with seasoned co-writers and friends including Wyatt McCubbin, David Lee Murphy, Aaron Raitiere, and Jim Beavers. The result is a collection that not only reflects their friendship but also resonates deeply with the heart of country music.

Randy and Wade's Hold My Beer albums have produced eight #1 songs including:

"Lady Bug" from Vol. 1

"Standards" from Vol. 1

"Till It Does" from Vol. 1

"Rodeo Clown" from Vol. 2

"Hold My Beer" from Vol. 2

"Rhinestoned" from Vol. 2

"We Ain't The Only Ones" from Vol. 3

"All I Wanna Do Is Drink" from Vol. 4
