Product Description
For an entertainer with a string of huge hits the likes of "If You're Going Through Hell," "Watching You" and "These Are My People," it is quite the feat to say that the current single, "Take A Back Road" is Rodney Atkins' most successful single to date.
Such is the case indicating that Rodney is set to propel to all new heights with the brand new album of the same title.

By Scamp4553
I find it very hard to believe that I am the first one to review this CD, after waiting for someone else to review this CD. It just comes to show that people cannot appreciate good music anymore, because Take a Back Road, I feel, is Rodney's best material yet.Rodney Atkins is an artist I love too much in the country music genre. He knows how to give out good music, good lyrics, and a good attitude whereas in other country music it falls flat. We all know Take a Back Road by now, and someway somehow it went to #1, and I feel that it deserves its spot because it is one of the best songs I have heard in the genre this year, however I feel that it should be longer at #1, rather than the abysmal Just a Kiss by Lady A.But back to the album. We have the same good ole country boy tracks that got me into Rodney Atkins in the first place, and the same authentic style that he has milked in his past CDs. Standouts include the title track (of course), Growing Up Like That, Just Wanna Rock And Roll, and Cabin in the Woods.So, Rodney, thank you. Thank you for doing it again. It is such a pleasure that you and other artists such as Brad Paisley, Brett Eldredge, Rascal Flatts, and Toby Keith have been working hard to make good music and try to stop the radio-friendly bombs that are Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, although I don't hate the latter as much as I do Swift. And please, do not dislike this review just because I said something negative about her. Take a Back Road is a masterpiece.Rating: 5 stars/5 stars

This is excellent. The first CD of his that I've purchased and it makes me want to go back and hear more of his stuff. Worth every penny.

By John Harwell
Rodney Atkins has proven that he has a wonderful view of life.His earlier recordings have given us a glimpse into his love for his family, his home. and his positive attitude on life. He does not disappoint on this CD.The song "Take a Back Road" basically says slow down and take your time. Appreciate what is off of the beaten track, an attitude that we all need, now and then.I don't know if "He's mine" is a song about what I put my father through or what my son puts me through. Maybe it's about EVERY father and son. Great song!"Family" is a song I want to laugh and cry about every time I hear it. I think everybody can feel this song. It's what the name says, family."The Corner" is good advice from a father to a son leaving home for the first time. We should all listen. A pretty smart man wrote this song."She's a Girl" explains falling in love with vour baby daughter. I have four and know the feeling very well. Nice song."She'd Rather Fight" is a FUN song about the wrath of a woman.If you have ever faced the wrath in the previous song, "Feet" is the very hopeful resulting make-up song.Now, a question for you. Do you make time to get away with the one you love? It's important. "Cabin in the Woods" is a good reminder.Do you want to party? "I Just Wanna Rock 'N Roll". Oddly mellow party song, but it works.If you feel like you had a good childhood you will fill in the blanks in "Growing Up Like That." I can relate very closely.More good advice on living life in "Tips". Kind of a sideways Jimmy Buffet theme.If you feel like there have been times in your life when you may have gone off the rails, think about someone who pulled you back from the edge. "Lifelines" is a song for them."Farmer's Daughter" was the first single from this CD. It's a song about how what you really want makes hard work worth the effort.
