Archer/Park was an American country music duo composed of singer-songwriters Randy Archer and Johnny Park. Signed to Atlantic Records in 1994, the duo released its sole album, We Got a Lot in Common, that year. Two of the album's singles entered the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts: "Where There's Smoke" at No. 29 and the title track at No. 63.
Archer/Park consisted of songwriters and vocalists Randy Archer (born February 20, 1959, in Swainsboro, Georgia) and Johnny Park (born October 30, 1957, in Arlington, Texas). [1] The two had success writing songs for other country music artists, and began working together in the same publishing company. As a result, they decided to form a duo and signed with Atlantic Records' Nashville branch in 1994. They recorded their debut album We Got a Lot in Common that same year. [2] The album's two singles "Where There's Smoke" and "We Got a Lot in Common" both charted on Billboard Hot Country Songs. [1] The album received a mixed review from John P. McLaughlin of the Alberta Province, who thought the album was "generic" and derivative of Brooks & Dunn. [3] An uncredited review in Gavin Report described the title track favorably, saying that the duo showed a sense of humor on it. [4]
After their only album, Archer resumed working as a songwriter, with Tim McGraw and John Michael Montgomery being among the acts who recorded his songs. [5] He and Park also wrote songs for Montgomery and for Elbert West. In 2006, Archer independently released an album titled Shots in the Dark. [5]
In 2009, Park and his son, Clint, formed the duo The Parks, which signed to Lyric Street Records subsidiary Carolwood Records. [6] Park also co-wrote Easton Corbin's " Roll with It". [7]
