4-Track EP Out Today (10/11)
Curb Records recording artist Rodney Atkins revisits select hits from his celebrated catalog on the all-new Acoustic Sessions. The four-track EP is out today (10/11) — listen HERE.
Comprised of three chart-topping singles and one fan favorite, Acoustic Sessions strips down a handful of Atkins’ most popular selections across a career that spans more than two decades. These fresh front-porch iterations of some of his beloved songs reflect on the past with fond nostalgia as the award-winning singer looks to the future with plenty of new music on the horizon.
From the personal storytelling of the 3x-Platinum “Watching You” — co-penned by Atkins and inspired by his oldest son (his little “buckaroo”) — to the art-mirroring-life ethos of Top 5 hit “Farmer’s Daughter,” the hitmaker proves he’s at his best when he’s singing about real moments. Meanwhile, No. 1 singles “These Are My People” and “Take A Back Road” remind listeners why Atkins is forever woven into the fabric of country music. His songs about the rural back 40 and small-town America are as relatable as the man himself.
The seasoned artist is currently in the studio working on his follow-up to 2019’s critically acclaimed Caught Up In The Country. He’s already been giving fans a glimpse into his creative process across his social channels. Brand new tracks previewing his next full-length project are coming soon.
