Show notes

Rodney Atkins' first album in 7 years is a romping, stomping, romantic reflection of his life in the True South.

Listen as he digs deep with longtime friends Lorianne and Charlie into the real-life experiences of his new album True South: his uncomfortable brush with Hollywood, his scary encounter with mountain moonshiners, and his hilarious "fail" as a husband that ultimately turned into an unforgettable romantic moment.
