Rodney Atkins fans are eagerly anticipated the release of his third studio album on Oct. 4, and the first single off the album, "Take A Back Road," is a pretty good indication that it is worth the wait. The song has already topped the charts, making it Rodney's sixth No. 1 single. 
 
The music video for "Take A Back Road," was directed by Andy Tennant who had never directed a music video before, but is known for directing movies such as Fool's Gold, Hitch and Sweet Home Alabama. 
 
"Rodney Atkins is everything I never knew I always wanted in a country music star: ridiculously talented, soft-spoken and decent, and wonderfully humble," says Tennant. 
 
The video was filmed in various Tennessee locations, including Nashville, Carthage and White Bluff. To view the video, go to
