Rodney Atkins Prepares Third Release

Four number one singles under his belt and a ball cap on his head, Country star Rodney Atkins made quite the mark on the Country world with the release of his CD, If You're Going Through Hell. On March 31, Atkins' highly anticipated third release on Curb Records, It's America, marks the next chapter in this chart-topper's career.  The title track and first single, "It's America," is a patriotic piece that he first shared with audiences on the 2008 CMA Awards and later for President George W. Bush on his return home to Midland, Texas. "With this record, I knew I wanted to keep making songs that folks can sing along with and laugh at and pump their fists to," he said. "Sometimes it is the simple things in this great country that really make me appreciate it. When we share this sense of pride through music, you become friends with everybody listening. It's an honor to go out there and represent the everyday man, and to represent country music and what it's all about."In addition to firing up the radio charts, Atkins earned the Academy of Country Music's Top New Male Vocalist award, plus five other ACM nominations and two Country Music Association nominations.
