Randy Owen Laid Back Lifestyle

Randy Yuell Owen was known for winning both the ACM and CMA Entertainer of the year for three straight years in a row. Owen was known for giving the fans what their money deserve, giving his best in every show that he does.

When he is on his job, Owen is known for the smooth and steady strums he makes in his rhythm guitar while he sings most of the solo vocals. He also has written countless songs in the whole 28-year career he had as he stayed with Alabama. During his off days, Randy Owen loves staying with his immediate family and makes sure he is away from the phone.
