Seven years is a long time in music. Long enough for the industry to shift beneath your feet twice over. But Rodney Atkins, multi-platinum country stalwart, father of three, hasn’t been sitting still. He’s been building a life. And now, he’s made an album about it.

‘True South’ arrives May 29th via Curb Records, and it is exactly the kind of record you’d hope for from an artist who has absolutely nothing left to prove. Twelve songs. East Tennessee soul. One very good Las Vegas story.

If you’re not already familiar with Atkins, here’s the short version: six No. 1 country radio singles, over 5 billion global streams, and a career-defining hit in ‘Watching You’ that earned him a BMI Million-Air award and the top spot on Country Aircheck’s most-played songs of the decade list. The man knows his way around a song.

What makes ‘True South’ feel like a genuine event rather than just a comeback is how personal it all sounds. The singles released so far each pull at something different. The title track has already appeared on Netflix crime drama ‘The Waterfront’, which means some of you may have heard it without knowing it. Now you’ll know where to find the rest.

Pre-save, pre-add and pre-order are available now, here.
