A GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award-winner, Jon Randall has seemingly done it all over his three-plus decades in the music business, working as a songwriter, guitarist, and critically acclaimed producer with some of the biggest names in country, bluegrass, and Americana. Born and raised in Dallas, Randall caught his first big break after moving to Nashville, where he was invited to join Emmylou Harris’s Nash Ramblers band. In the years to come, he would go on to release a series of widely lauded solo records, produce for Dierks Bentley, Dwight Yoakam, Jack Ingram, Pat Green, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others, and write with and for the likes of Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Blake Shelton, Little Big Town, Guy Clark, Kenney Chesney, Reba McEntire, and countless more. He’d go on to earn a slew of award nominations, as well, and take home CMA Song of the Year honors in 2005 for “Whiskey Lullaby,” recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, and the ACM Song of the Year trophy in 2018 for “Tin Man,” which he penned with Lambert and Ingram on one of their regular writing retreats to Marfa. The three returned there in 2019 to record their bare-bones Marfa Tapes album, which landed the trio performances at the CMT and ACM Awards, as well as a Grammy Nomination for Country Album of the Year and an ACM Nomination for Album of the Year. Jon has continued to produce Grammy-nominated projects including Miranda Lambert’s latest record Palomino as well as Dierks Bentley’s High Note featuring Billy Strings. In 2023 Randall was nominated for the Academy of Country Music’s Producer of the Year Award, and partnered with Big Loud and Miranda Lambert to launch their new record label, Big Loud Texas. |
