Rodney Atkins charted his first single on the Billboard country chart in 1997 but did not release an album until 2003’s Honesty, which included the number 4 hit “Honesty (Write Me a List).” If You’re Going Through Hell, his second album, was released in 2006. Its first two singles, “If You’re Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)” and “Watching You,” each spent four weeks at the top of the country music chart. The album, which has since been certified platinum in the US, produced two more number 1 singles in “These Are My People” and “Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy).” It’s America (2009) included the number 1 single “It’s America” and the top 5 hit “Farmer’s Daughter.” Take a Back Road (2011) produced his sixth number one in its title track. Atkins has received six nominations from the Academy of Country Music and two from the Country Music Association, winning Top New Male Vocalist from the former in 2006. In September 2013, Atkins released the single “Doin’ It Right,” which was followed in October 2014 by “Eat Sleep Love You Repeat.” The latter song appears on Atkins’ Greatest Hits compilation, released in February 2015. This album also includes ten of his previous singles, plus the album cut “About the South” from If You’re Going Through Hell. Rodney Atkins continues to tour the country.
