 Rockzilla.net Rhett Akins "Friday Night In Dixie" by David Pilot
Nearly seven years ago, in the midst of the Great Nashville War between the neo-Garths and Tims and the traditional minded Randys and Alans, the world heard a baritone voice wailing out a ditty 'bout a girl and a world and a truck that didn't belong to the driveway it was sittin' in.

Akins has been quoted as saying he came to Nashville to be "the guy who sang the heartfelt songs," and he adds to his existing library with "Livin' Not Lovin' You," one of the buckle-polishing tunes discussed above.

 Rhett Akins : What Livin's All About - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
As the title suggests, What Livin's All About finds Rhett Akins stripping back the production gloss somewhat in favor of straight-ahead, direct neo-traditional country.
Of course, Akins still has his eye on the new country audience, so the album is hardly honky tonk, but it does reveal that he has a strong ear for material.
Most of the songs steer away from the frothy fun of early tracks like "That Ain't My Truck" and "I Brake for Brunettes" in favor of more introspective material (most of which is written by other songwriters).

He's got a new single coming out this month off of his 'Friday Night In Dixie' album and it is called, "In Your Love".
I think it is a very excellent song and it should be given a fair chance on country radio, so if anyone else is annoyed by the "pop-country" on the radio, please call and request Rhett Akins' "In Your Love" on Febuary 24th!!
