Thomas Rhett (Akins) is an artist that I've certainly heard about, but never really paid much attention to. I've known who he was and had heard a few songs that he'd written and recorded. And obviously, I've got eyes, and can see that the man is every bit of good lookin'!
Well, after a post on Facebook asking my friends to reveal their favorite country artists, a guy friend of mine reminded me of Thomas Rhett. He's apparently a very, very big fan. And now, having listened to the EP and his latest song "It goes like this", so am I!
As most of you know, Thomas Rhett is following in his fathers (Rhett Akins) footsteps. But, don't make any assumptions. This southern boy is paving his path with a sound all his own. His twangy southern drawl and engrossing lyrics put you right in the middle of each one of his songs. As a country music fan, you can't ask for anything better. I mean, who wouldn't wanna have a "Beer with Jesus"? How can "..we're just sippin' moonshine, watchin' chicken fry.." from "Front porch junkies", not put a big ol'e smile on your face?! That is PURE COUNTRY right there!! And then there's "You make me wanna". The lyrics make you either wish you were the guy holding that purty girl or the girl driving that country boy crazy! You can't help but fall in love with this guy and his music!
Thomas Rhett,
I truly believe that you made a wise choice in hopping on the "family business" train. You definitely have the talent and potential to become one of country music's next superstars! Congratulations on all of your well-deserved success. I know you've got a lot more ahead of you!!
