This was the song that did it. It was about eight years ago, maybe nine (!), when I first met Randy. It was at a Compassion International retreat, and it was no more than a hand shake and a “nice to meet you”. About three months later I was doing a show with my buddy Gabe Scott at the sadly now-defunct New City Café in Knoxville, and Kenny, the proprietor, had Randy’s EP Hank playing over the sound system. I loved what I heard and bought the CD immediately. This was the song that made it clear to me that this Goodgame fella wasn’t messing around. “Charlie Robin” is in many ways a great picture of what Randall does.
