From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhett Akins (born October 13, 1969 in Valdosta, Georgia) is an American country music singer and songwriter.
[edit] History
Rhett Akins had a band by the time he was eleven. In 1992, he moved to Nashville to follow his dream of becoming a country music star. He received a record deal from Decca Records after they heard a few of his demos. He debuted his first album A Thousand Memories in 1994. Two of the songs on the album made it into the top 40 of the charts, but it wasn't until a year later that he made it big. In 1995, he released the song "That Ain't My Truck," which made it into the top five. He released the album Somebody New in 1996, which did land him his first #1 single in "Don't Get Me Started", but sales were otherwise disappointing. Rhett came back in 1998 with his third album titled What Livin's All About, but it too did not reach the success of his first album. His fourth album, titled Friday Night In Dixie, was released in March of 2002.
