Here is some reading on Rhett: At the dawn of 1997, off the road following a grueling 200 performances, Rhett Akins made himself slow down long enough to reflect on his career. The handsome Georgia native had come to the realization that it was up to him to determine what, if any, changes he needed to make as he continued his journey of country music stardom. "Whatever I do, I’m not only thinking about how this going to affect my career, but how it’s going to affect my family, the guys in the band. It’s not all about me even though it’s Rhett Akins that people come to see. I’m making decisions based more on ‘how will this affect everyone involved in what I’m doing’ more than just ‘is this going to be a hit song and can I sell a million records?’" Rhett is a true country singer; he's true to his family, his fans and his art. "I really want people to know the heart and soul of Rhett Akins. I’m trying to grow a little bit deeper in my song selection. I came to town to be the guy who sang the heartfelt songs, even though I love to have a good time and sing the fun and rockin' stuff. With this album, I want people to get a deeper sense of what I came to town to do." One achievement he's very proud of is serving as the National Music Industry Spokesperson for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Finding satisfaction by merely doing his best is just one example of Rhett’s down-to-earth attitude. He's managed to stay focused on his dream while keeping his priorities straight at the same time. "I think it starts out with the way I was raised.My family has always been very humble, from both sides of my grandparents down to my parents. They started out with nothing and worked their way up to get where they are today through hard work and being nice people, being respectful people. And I think that’s in my blood. I grew up in a Christian family that believes no matter where you are in life, you’re not any better than anybody else."
