I’ve never really focused on if I had good habits when I sang or if I had bad habits, or if I was breathing correctly. So, I started doing vocal exercises and would stretch out before I sang, stuff to help my breathing. It’s funny, you breathe your whole life then you find out you’re not doing it correctly. Rodney Atkins
You can hear some artists, hear five of their albums and still have no idea who they are. But if you’ve heard most of what I’ve recorded, you know me.

Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up, turn on the TV and watch the parade, so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I’m looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear, though, to stay warm! Rodney Atkins
You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody’s eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence. Then we write a song from an idea that can change somebody’s life. Songwriting is the closest thing to magic that we could ever experience. That’s why I love songwriting. Rodney Atkins
There’s a book called ‘The Shack’ – it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal. Rodney Atkins
The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions. Rodney Atkins

I don’t take a second for granted of the honor of representing country music. Rodney Atkins
I was a sickly baby, and after two sets of adoptive parents took me home, they returned me to the orphanage because of a serious respiratory infection.

It’s still a trip for me to see somebody that I’ve only seen on television or in a movie. When they are there in real life, it’s very different. When we played Detroit, Kevin Costner played before us. Rodney Atkins

There’s nothing special about me. Nothing has come easy. Rodney Atkins
I could be on 52nd and Third in Manhattan up and ask a strange for directions and they will help you, that’s a rural heart.

I started doing some demos and got online and bought a refurbished laptop, bought a microphone off of eBay.

The vocals sound great!’ Rodney Atkins
I see the crowd singing ‘Rock ‘N Roll’ or ‘Back Road’ at my concerts… they are anthems and they lift up your life. Rodney Atkins
Some people grab my hair and pull it out. People write on my jeans when I’m on stage. They write on my boots – their phone number, name or whatever. Rodney Atkins
My family and I are just regular folks, just trying to get through the day and do the best you can and pay the bills, and that’s who we’re singing to. Rodney Atkins

The way I heard about The American Giving Awards was from the people that I work with. My publicist and I had a conversation a while back about wanting to really get involved more and more.

When you’re adopted, no matter what, you’ve got issues with unconditional love. And you find out you’re the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life, and I’m so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation. Rodney Atkins
There’s an intelligent redneck in all of us somewhere. Rodney Atkins
When I did ‘The Tonight Show’ and Jay Leno was still there, he was very nice but it was surreal. It’s like you can’t believe you’re standing there talking to that person.
