Randy Rogers Band is back with their latest EP, The Going, marking their first new music in over two years. The project, out now, demonstrates a sound that feels both elevated and firmly rooted in the spirit of their home, the Lone Star State.
Produced by Jedd Hughes, the EP blends the Texas band’s classic country sound that has influenced generations of country artists for over 20 years, including Parker McCollum, William Beckmann, Flatland Calvery, Koe Wetzel, and more.
Highlights on the collection include previously released tracks like “Break Itself”, the collaborative “Is This Thing Workin’” with Parker McCollum, and the title track. With each of these songs, along with the remaining three tracks – “Missing You,” “Same Place Twice,” and “We Ain’t Right” – Randy Rogers Band leans into themes of love, loss, and life on the road. Their rich harmonies elevate the heartfelt storytelling wrapped in timeless Texas grit.
Speaking on the project, Rogers reflected on how the EP captures the realization that life’s richest moments aren’t always found in chasing what’s next, but instead, in appreciating what’s right in front of you. He explained that The Going serves as both a nod to the band’s past and a reminder to stay present in the current chapter of their journey.
“The Going, it’s all about the journey. The ride,” Rogers told Country Now. “Realizing that the pot at the end of the rainbow is actually right at your front door. After 25 years in this business, I feel like I can speak to that truth. What you wish for and what you actually have aren’t for too far apart.”
The title track especially tackles this message as the band tells a cinematic, dreamlike story about an unforgettable late-night encounter. It opens with a musician packing up after another small-town gig that didn’t earn him any money, in an effort to try to make a living doing what he loves. Then a stranger, described as a cowboy, enters the scene, asking the musician for a ride. What begins as a simple favor turns into a fleeting moment that sends the reminder that the true value in life isn’t always found in the destination, but rather in the journey itself.
“Sometimes it ain’t what ya know/ It’s the way you get knowing/ It ain’t so much the getting to/ As much as it’s the going,” the band sings on the enchanting chorus.
The legendary group spend many dates on the road this year supporting fellow Texas native, Parker McCollum. Although that trek has come to an end, Randy Rogers Band still has a slew of shows scheduled throughout November and December.
The Going EP – Track List:
1. Break Itself
2. Is This Thing Workin’ (featuring Parker McCollum)
3. Missing You
4. Same Place Twice
5. The Going
6. We Ain’t Right

Lee Brice is back with his third release of the year, “Killed The Man.” This isn’t your typical love song, but it does it hit hard both sonically and emotionally. Following its October 31st release, the haunting, reflective track was most-added at country radio, proving once again that Brice knows how to captivate listeners with his unique storytelling.
Written by Michael Whitworth, Troy Cartwright, and Jared Conrad, and produced by Brice alongside Ben Glover and Jerrod Niemann, the moody song tells the story of a man looking back at the person he once was and recognizing the emotional transformation he’s undergone since a certain woman came into his life.
The opening lyrics find the country star illustrating what appears to be a depiction of a murder. He alludes to a case that has “gone cold” after a woman killed a man and left his body somewhere no one will find.
Brice sings, “They’ll never find the body/ She didn’t leave a trace/ You’d never know she’s guilty/ Judging by the smile on her face/ But ain’t nobody seen him/ The case has gone cold/ It ain’t much of a secret when everybody knows.”
However, as the song goes on, it’s clear that the story takes on a new life. On the surface, it paints a chilling scene, but the metaphor of the lyrics actually runs much deeper. The “murder” represents the transformation of a man whose old self has been erased by love. The imagery mirrors the emotional weight of leaving behind who you once were when someone helps you become a better version of yourself.
“She killed the man/ I swear she did/ And she’s gonna get away with it/ Ain’t on the run, but there’s evidence/ You know she left some fingerprints/ People say I look like him but act completely different/ She buried him, married me/ She killed the man I used to be,” he continues onto the chorus of the country-rock tune.
The overarching message that listeners take away doesn’t necessarily have to be about a love story. It can also speak to anyone who has felt the call to make a change in their life. Brice admits he felt that kind of empowerment the first time he listened to the narrative and insanely felt drawn to record it.
“When I first heard this song, it made me look back at my own life and see the man who I was isn’t the man I am today,” he stated. “I think the message is something anyone can relate to as we all strive to evolve and grow through life and its challenges. For me, ‘Killed The Man’ captures that stripping away of the ego to become who God intended me to be, leaning into family, faith, and something bigger than myself.”
“Killed The Man” follows Lee Brice’s first two releases of 2025, his radio single “Cry,” and the star-studded “Said No Country Boy Ever,” where he teamed up with country legends Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Jerrod Niemann, Dallas Davidson, and Rob Hatch (aka The Trailer Park). Even more music is expected to be on the way from Brice.
