Photographer: Grant Lovett. With its signings of folks like Ross Nickerson, John Anderson, and Rhett Akins, Audium Records is like the second chance home for those country neo-traditionalists squeezed out of Nashville by both the pop direction of Faith Hill or Shania Twain and the rootsier moves of the alt-country posses. Like Akins' three major-label albums of the '90s, 2002's Friday Night in Dixie blends George Strait and the Marshall Tucker Band for an entertaining if not particularly innovative mix of country twang and Southern rock choogle. The title track, co-written and produced by Charlie Daniels, raises the most hell, but Akins is at his best on more introspective material like the sweet "She Was" and the lonesome "Where the Blacktop Ends." Bookended by a pair of country-radio possibilities, the anonymous but catchy "Highway Sunrise" and a swell acoustic version of Akins' biggest '90s hit, "That Ain't My Truck," Friday Night in Dixie is a solid comeback for a journeyman singer/songwriter. ~ Stewart Mason

Thousand Memories by Rhett Akins (CD - 01/03/1995)
"Thousand Memories" (01/03/1995) Country Akins, Rhett, MCA Records (USA)Personnel: Rhett Akins (vocals); B. James Lowry, Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Brent Rowan (electric guitar); Paul Franklin (steel guitar, dobro); Glen Duncan (fiddle, mandolin); The Nashville String Machine (strings); Barry Beckett, Steve Nathan (keyboards); Mike Brignardello (bass); Lonnie Wilson (drums); Harry Stinson, Curtis "Mr. Harmony" Young, John Wesley Ryles, Ricky Skaggs, Mac McAnally (background vocals). Recorded at Javelina Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. All songs co-written by Rhett Akins except "Katy Brought My Guitar Back Today" (Mickey Cates/John Jarrard). Rhett Akins' Decca debut, A THOUSAND MEMORIES, bodes well for the young Georgian. On it, he displays an honest, enthusiastic energy, simply presented, without over-adornment. Rhett writes all his own material, yet the songs are varied, focusing on rollick 'n' roll, sweeping weeping ballads, and a large dose of down-home fun. "That Ain't My Truck" is about finding another man's vehicle in his girlfriend's driveway; "I Brake For Brunettes" (his debut hit single) is a humorous look at infidelity; the tender, sentimental "Those Hands" is at the other end of the emotional spectrum. From first love ("What They're Talking About") to lost love ("A Thousand Memories"), Akins runs the gamut of country themes, and he does it well. Personnel: Rhett Akins (background vocals); B. James Lowry, Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Brent Rowan (electric guitar); Paul Franklin (steel guitar, dobro); Glen Duncan (mandolin, fiddle); Nashville String Machine (strings); Barry Beckett, Steve Nathan (keyboards); Lonnie Wilson (drums); Curtis Young, Harry Stinson, John Wesley Ryles, Mac McAnally, Ricky Skaggs (background vocals). Audio Mixer: John Hampton. Recording information: Javelina Recording Studios, Nashville, TN; Javelina Studios, Nashville, TN. Photographers: Senor McGuire; Jonelle Weaver.

What Livin's All About by Rhett Akins (CD - 06/18/2002)
"What Livin's All About" (06/18/2002) Country Akins, Rhett, Universal Special ProductsPersonnel: Rhett Akins (vocals); Brent Mason, Kent Wells, J.T. Corenflos (electric guitar); Larry Byrom (acoustic guitar); Paul Franklin, Sonny Garrish (steel guitar); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Steve Nathan, Matt Rollings (piano); Mike Brignardello, Michael Rhodes (bass); Eddie Bayers (drums); Curtis Young, Russell Terrell (background vocals). Recorded at LOUD Recording, Nashville, Tennessee. Personnel: Rhett Akins (vocals, guitar); Larry Byrom (acoustic guitar); J.T. Corenflos, Kent Wells, Brent Mason (electric guitar); Paul Franklin, Sonny Garrish (steel guitar); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Matt Rollings, Steve Nathan (piano); Eddie Bayers (drums); Curtis Young, Russell Terrell (background vocals). Audio Mixer: Julian King. Recording information: LOUD Recording. Photographer: Jonelle Weaver. As the title suggests, What Livin's All About finds Rhett Akins stripping back the production gloss somewhat in favor of straight-ahead, direct neo-traditionalist country. Of course, Akins still has his eye on the new country audience, so the album is hardly honky tonk, but it does reveal that he has a strong ear for material. Most of the songs steer away from the frothy fun of early tracks like "That Ain't My Truck" and "I Brake for Brunettes" in favor of more introspective material (most of which is written by other songwriters). The result isn't as immediate as his first two records, but it's arguably more rewarding, proving that he's more than a flash in the pan. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
