Getting Real with Rodney Atkins: The man who went through Hell and kept on going is back!

Author: Nashville Podcast Network June 22, 2026 Duration: 42:15

Rodney Atkins is the kind of country artist who proves the best songs usually come from the life you actually live. After a seven-year break from releasing a full studio album, Rodney returns with True South, not because he stepped away from music, but because life got bigger. Marriage, fatherhood, raising three sons with his wife Rose Falcon, and building a family became the story he wanted to tell.

The man behind anthems like “If You’re Going Through Hell,” “It’s America,” and “Take a Back Road” helped define 2000s country radio with six No. 1 hits, but these days, his biggest role is being a dad. His song “Watching You” wasn’t just a hit… it was a real-life snapshot of parenting and the little moments that become everything.

Now, with True South, Rodney Atkins raises a longneck to the things that matter most: love, family, memories, and the life he’s built.
