Rhett was born in Valdosta, Georgia. He learned the guitar and joined a ban with his brothers by the time he was 11. He moved to Nashville in 1992, and was signed to Decca Records, where he put out "A Thousand Memories." He had three Top 40 hits, including "That Ain't My Truck," which soared to #3. He recently signed with Audium Records where he put out "Friday Night in Dixie."

2. Somebody New - Rhett Akins
While none of Rhett's Decca CDs were blockbusters, "Somebody New" shows where Rhett was heading before he lost his record deal, 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."
