Some men are just born to be country singers. It has nothing to do with chart positions, signed deals or marketing plans. It has everything to do with a rowdy Friday night crowd singing along to a song you just wrote because they’ve immediately embraced the words. You’ve written about your life and theirs and the connection has nothing to do with music industry politics and everything to do with honest communication and gut reaction.

Just ask Rhett Akins. The talented singer/songwriter is back with a new collection of songs, People Like Me, that reflect the life he leads on stage and off as a loving father, avid outdoorsman and a quintessential everyman who has much in common with the audiences he’s been singing to for more than a decade.

Akins 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.

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.”

Country Goes Huntin was founded in 2001 by Rhett Akins and his longtime friend and hunting personality, Sam Klement to bring awareness and dollars through the outdoors and country music by bringing some of the top stars in country music and the top names in the hunting industry together. Since its inception, the event has gotten bigger every year and each artist that participates can have a portion of the money raised go to their favorite charity.
