Even though "It's America" went #1 on the charts and the follow-up single "Fifteen Minutes" scored a Top 15 hit for Rodney, he seemed to be losing his charming homespun likeability.  That has changed as this single returns him to exactly what made him a star, relatability.

In an exclusive interview with Roughstock, Rodney Atkins discusses his career, his live shows and his new album It's America along with his upcoming single and the song and performance which earned him his first gig, while a student at Tennessee Tech.

Rodney Atkins waited a long time to get his shot at radio stardom and with his string of six Top 10 hits (five of them #1 hits), he's in no hury to go anywhere.  With that in mind, will this single keep Rodney's hit streak going or will it fall by the wayside like "Invisably Shaken?"

Listen to Rodney Atkins latest single.

Here's Rodney Atkins latest music video. It's from his soon-to-be release third CD, also called "It's America."

Here's the first single from Rodney Atkins' third album.

After scoring 4 consecutive #1's, Rodney Atkins' last single "Invisibly Shaken" tanked at radio.  Rather than return to radio with a ballad, Rodney instead returns with this track, a song that unsurprisingly sounds closer to those previous big hits.  Will it bring him another hit?
