Phil Vassar’s hilarious new video for “Bobbi With An I” premiered this morning exclusively to AOL’s TheBoot.com!  Check it out here!

Shot in Nashville, Phil enlisted the help of his friend and actor James Denton (Desperate Housewives) to create a video fitting for this fun, summer song that, under the direction of Eric Welch, is sure to garner a few laughs.  “Bobbi With An I,” written by Phil and Craig Wiseman, is the debut single from Phil’s forthcoming studio album set to be released later this summer.  Go to AOLMusic.com to watch Phil Vassar, James Denton and Bobbi With An I.

“Bobbi With An I” was recently released to radio and has already earned quite a buzz. “Bobbi is actually a guy I knew—this outrageous guy who showed up at a club one night dressed as a girl,” states Phil about the subject of his new single.  “It was just a funny way to pick up chicks.”

Actor and fellow Tennessean James Denton was glad to help Phil out, “I’ve always been a big fan of Phil’s so working with him on the “Share The Beat” events was a lot of fun for me. The guy donates an unbelievable amount of his time to charity.  I was happy to be part of one of his videos - particularly a song that’s as much fun as “Bobbi”.  We have a lot in common.  He’s a family guy.   The shoot was a real family affair - his sister, mom and daughter were all at the shoot and that told me a lot about him.”

The praise has been coming in by his musical peers as Universal Records South recording artist Randy Houser’s single, “Boots On,” started climbing the radio charts.

“Randy Houser has one of the coolest voices in Nashville,” enthused Darius Rucker. “And his voice is matched only by his songwriting.”

On his walk up the red carpet, Keith Urban told People magazine that Houser’s “Boots On” music video is his new favorite.  “It’s simple, it’s cute, it’s funny.  I love it.”

Other stars have already raved about the bluesy Mississippi native.   “He’s one of the best in the new crop of singer/songwriters,” Vince Gill asserted.   Said Heidi Newfield, “He sings with such passion and soul, and he writes like the devil.  I love this guy.”

Fans love him, too.  Digital downloads of “Boots On” jumped 10% this past week, amounting to nearly 12,000 downloads.   Houser’s debut album, Anything Goes, also moves to No. 7 on Billboard’s predictive Heatseekers chart and to No. 24 on its country chart.  “Boots On,” the single, jumped to 14* on this week’s Mediabase charts and to 13* at Billboard.

“Boots On”—the music video that features an organic viral video of an irresistible four-year-old mime and air guitarist—is at No. 12 on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown.  It is posted as well on all the websites of Clear Channel’s massive network of country radio stations and is currently at No. 9 on Clear Channel’s Top 20 Videos On Demand.
