About Me |
|
| RHETT AKINS current album, People Like Me released June 2007.Rhett moved to Nashville in 1992 and landed a songwriting deal with Sony Tree Publishing. Like many other Music Row newcomers, he began writing songs and singing demos. Those demos caught the attention of an executive at Decca Records and Akins was signed to a deal in 1994. From there, the young artist became one of country music’s hottest acts, well known for such hits as “That Ain’t My Truck,� “She Said Yes� and the No. 1 “Don’t Get Me Started.� His boyish good looks, warm evocative voice and energetic stage shows made him a favorite with fans of all ages.On People Like Me, Akins says he tried to forge an emotional connection with the listener much like his musical heroes Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr. have done. He recalls the impact listening to Williams had on him as a young boy. “‘Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound’ is the song that changed my life and made me want to do this,� he says. “When I first started getting into Hank, I didn’t drink or smoke and hadn’t been with a girl or nothing, but it was like they were just true songs. I knew somehow at 12 or 13 years old that this guy was telling the truth.�Akins has felt the impact of an honest song and he’s seen his songs impact others. “I just think that after 10 years I know who I am and I know what I want to do and I’m not a slicked-up, polished artist,� he says. “I wear a hat, T-shirt, boots and ragged blue jeans and I want to sing real songs. People have so many emotions. What I’ve tried to do on People Like Me is just try to tell the truth in many, many different ways.�DISCLAIMER: While Rhett visits the site when he can, he is simply too busy to run it himself. He says he appreciates all of the support that you guys give him, and he will try to read and answer some of the wonderful messages everyone has sent once his schedule isn't quite so hectic. I just don't want anyone to think that your messages are just being ignored, so feel free to continue to write, post comments, tell all your friends about his music, etc! Soon, I will make available some banners for posting on your own pages, and am even working on a customized Rhett layout to use for your own myspace page. More will be happening on here soon, I promise! Thanks for being so patient and wonderful! You guys rock. | |
