Rodney Atkins He’s Mine Video

Posted on by

The Official Music Video For Rodney Atkins’ “He’s Mine.” Rodney Atkins’ latest single, “He’s Mine” has been a hit with the fathers and sons of the country music world. The song can be found on his fourth studio album, Take A Back Road and is the follow up to “Take A Back Road.” First I want to say that I am a fan of the song. It’s one of those that you find yourself singing along to in the car and then have it stuck in your head for a few hours. But…I have to say one thing about it that i find odd. Although I’m glad that this is a song about having pride in your son, I find it weird that there isn’t a line somewhere that says “Yeah he’s mine and I’m gonna’ take him to the back and whip him.” It’s not that I condone child abuse or anything like that, but come on…the kid was caught “shootin’ beer bottles” AND “smokin’.” Plus the kid was disrespectful by not even speaking to the old man…I’m just saying. Either way I do like the song and the video is great too! Watch it here now! He’s Mine – Rodney Atkins – Rodney Atkins Videos

He has achieved a lot of things in his life, career and personal, and we hope that he keeps doing what he’s been doing for many years to come! Here is a look back at Strait’s younger days with his classic hit “Amarillo By Morning.” I’d say he’s still looking good! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you for wearing your Wranglers the way you do and standing behind the mic, playing your guitar and bobbing your head along while you sing!

Top 10 Graduation Songs

Posted on by

The Top 10 Songs For Graduation Celebrations! As you all know, the CMNB team loves summertime (we’ve been writing and dreaming about all of our adventures for months now!). And although there is an exact calendar date for the start of the season, there are many unofficial starts to it as well! For students, the one and most holy of those is the end of a school year! For seniors, whether it is high school or college, that last day of school (and passing grades) means graduation! In honor of this (and my recent obsession with Top 10s) I have come up with another list! So everybody get the tissues ready, as you (or your family member) embark on another life journey! Congratulations to all graduates (especially the ones from Sallisaw!). Good luck on all of your future plans!!! Top 10 Graduation Songs 1. I Hope You Dance – Lee Ann Womack 2. My Wish – Rascal Flatts 3. Here’s To You – Eli Young Band (fit this into my high school graduation speech) 4. I’m Not Gonna Cry – Corey Smith 5. Don’t Blink – Kenny Chesney 6. Don’t Forget To Remember Me – Carrie Underwood 7. Laughed Until We Cried – Jason Aldean 8. The River – Garth Brooks 9. You’re Gonna Miss This – Trace Adkins 10. I’ve Got Friends In Low Places – Garth Brooks (If you were part of my graduating class) As a BONUS…Graduation – Vitamin C. It isn’t country, but it is one of the most common songs used at graduations and I just couldn’t find it in me to leave it off the list.

Thomas Rhett Something To Do With My Hands Video

Posted on by

Thomas Rhett’s Official Music Video For “Something To Do With My Hands!” Thomas Rhett’s “Something To Do With My Hands” is quite the catchy tune if I say so myself. It’s upbeat and he has a pretty distinctive voice that adds that certain bit of charm that draws people in. At first glance one might think he was a younger Eric Church (with his dark hair and hat), but no, he is an up-and-comer ready to prove himself! Following in his father’s (Rhett Akins) songwriting footsteps, he had a song on Jason Aldean’s album My Kinda Party, “I Ain’t Ready To Quit.” The video is one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a while. Trying to impress a group of girls, he seems to fall flat until he pulls out his golden ticket, his ability to perform! I suggest you watch the video now!
