Rodney Atkins is on the fast track to stardom
A virtually unknown name to country music fans just two years ago, singer Rodney Atkins has quickly ascending to the top of the country world.
Having a #1 song is one thing, but Rodney now has two blockbuster songs in a row, and will most likely capture the Billboard Hot Country chart song of the year for the second year in a row.
"If You're Going Through Hell" was the 2006 Billboard Country Song of the Year, and it will take a massive effort for a song to beat out "Watching You" for this year's top spot.
Both songs have great messages, and the key is that a lot of people can relate to it. Heck, all you need is to be a parent or a kid for "Watching You" to ring true, and everyone who has gone through a tough time can relate to "If You're Going Through Hell."
Let's not forget the great vocals Atkins puts into these songs. You can almost here his fustration when the "orange drink covers his lap."
Now, Rodney is scheduled to open for Brad Paisley this fall for what should be one heck of a show. And with his recent success, it won't be long, perform he's the one looking for opening acts.
