“This record really became a timeline of my life – the evolution of me as a writer, a singer, a performer,” the 23-year old hitmaker tells Rolling Stone. “Mainly in making this album, I just wanted to put a smile on people’s faces.”
Rhett, who has sold over one million downloads of his latest single, first broke into the music business with a co-writing credit on Jason Aldean’s 2010 album, My Kinda Party, which led to a record deal the following year. In 2012, Rhett (who is the son of singer-songwriter Rhett Atkins) released two Top 30 hits, “Something to Do With My Hands” and “Beer with Jesus.” In the lead-up to his first album, Rhett continued to work with Aldean, co-writing 2013’s “1994,” plus hits for Lee Brice (“Parking Lot Party”) and Florida Georgia Line (“Round Here”).
