Content[]

Magnolia was originally slated for release on November 2, 2018, but Houser chose to postpone the album's release. The lead single, "What Whiskey Does", features Hillary Lindsey.^[1]

Houser produced the album with singer-songwriter Keith Gattis. Of its content, he told Taste of Country that "When writing for this new project, I knew the production had to lean on songs and melodies, not a bunch of tricks and loops. That was the catalyst for the album. So, for the past two years we’ve been focused on trying to find a unique sound and trying to best serve the songs."^[2]

The album debuted at No. 11 on Billboard's Country Albums chart. It has sold 12,000 copies in the United States as of April 2019.^[3]
