House is also a songwriter, who has written songs for George Strait ("The Big One"), Reba McEntire ("Little Rock"), LeAnn Rimes ("On the Side of Angels") and Pam Tillis ("The River and the Highway").
He has also had his songs recorded by Brad Paisley, Randy Travis, Trace Adkins, Mark Collie, Clint Black, Neal McCoy, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Big & Rich, among others.
In the early 1980s, WSIX-FM, a country music-formatted FM outlet, appointed House to host a new morning show.
Al Voecks, who had previously been a local TV news anchor, had presented a talk show on the AM station, and he soon became House's newsman.
Devon O'Day also joined the show as producer and for a country music news segment called "Twang Talk".
When Paul Randall became very ill, Mike Bohan joined the show in 1995, after 20 years at WSM radio and WSMV television.
Some of his writing partners over the years have included O'Day, Gary Burr and Don Schlitz, who have all had number-one hits with House.
