Rhett Akins - Somebody New
Rhett Akins burst on the country music scene in late 1994 with his first CD, A Thousand Memories. Following the success of that CD, Rhett released Somebody New in the summer of 1996.
While none of Rhett's Decca CDs were blockbusters, Somebody New shows where Rhett was heading before he lost his record deal two years later, due to Decca's closure. The centerpiece of the CD is Rhett's smash Billboard No. 1, "Don't Get Me Started." However, there is more to the CD, including the western swing of "Too Much Texas" to the smooth yet stone country sound of "Carolina Line."
If you are looking for a CD that showcases the Country Music sound from 1996, then look no further than Rhett Akins' Somebody New.
