Rodney Atkins may not be a well known artist but his presence in the country music is significant. He has an amazing ability to really connect with his fans because his songs can reflect the lives of his listeners. In Atkins' songs he really keeps close to a simple minded lifestyle, mainly because that's the way that he grew up. Throughout his infancy he was adopted by two different families both of which returned him because he was ill. Finally he was adopted by the Atkins family which raised him into the healthy country star he is today. In 2003 he put out his first album, "Honesty" followed by "If You're Going Through Hell" in 2006. Also, in 2006 four of his songs from the album, "If You're Going Through Hell", became number one hits, something that had not been done since 2002.
I had no idea Rodney Atkins had gone through such a rough childhood! It's nice to see someone who's gone from nothing to nothing but success. Not only does he connect with his fans through his lyrics, but on stage as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is very inspirational and I think that it's very nice of his family to adopt him. It's sad that the first two families would "return" him because of his sickness. It wasn't his fault. I think that he is a wonderful country singer. I don't know many of his songs, but the one's that I do listen to are very catchy.
