Yes, Thomas Rhett is Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. I absolutely love Rhett Akins and was so happy when TR started releasing music, such amazing talent in that family.

I enjoy your reaction to this song. I like this song as well.

Rhett Akins is from down here where I live in Valdosta Georgia.

Thomas was 4 when this song was written and recorded 😁

I couldn’t help but laugh 😂 omg 😳 wow!

Love 90s country music and I think you would enjoy some of it especially your reactions would be great because of the song writing in the 90s

love this

The one bad thing about 90's country: a lot of really talented singers were forgotten because there were just so many of them coming into the genre at the same time.

Agree. Incredible amount of talent on that era. Real talent before computers took over the recording industry.

I love love love him and his son

I saw Rhett Akins on tour in 1997 with Ricochet and John Michael Montgomery. It was my first concert

Your face when you read he is his dad. I love your reactions!

Omg 😱 this song happened in my life!!! I had two love interests and well both drove a truck….I literally was given the words of this song in my mailbox….after going on a date with the other one…I guess he saw his truck in my drive…… LOL 😂 I married the one whose truck was in my drive that night….and we divorced sadly. Wonder where my other dude is??? He left me as he should have and got over me and has a beautiful wife and children… we both made the right choices. I’m happy and wouldn’t change a thing. Just love this song about my own youth and decisions of love.

You’ve heard “what’s your country song” but now that line “that ain’t my truck” makes more sense

Rhett was one of the writers on Thomas' song. When I heard that line about the truck...I looked it up!

Gotta follow this up with Herman's Hermits - Silhouettes on the Shade just for a pick me up.

Don't feel bad. I've been listening to country for over 20 years and didn't know either.

Chris Cagle I breathe in, I breathe out

This is what real country music is suppose to sound like. I hate today's country music. 80s and 90s was the best decade for country music.

Yep. As soon as computers and plugins took over it changed the music industry in general for the worse. Natural talent no longer needed. Good look is more important

On of my favorites. I still cry to that song

I think I have some of his music from the 90’s

This is my first time seeing this video of you reacting to this song but yes Thomas Rhett is his son and yes they look identical lol....Rhett Akins as the man 😂😂😂

I love 90's music including country ❤

You should also check out I brake for brunettes by Rhett Akins

i didnt' know it either. that they were related

I'm dealing with this now and it hurts

A few weeks ago you reacted to What's Your Country Song by Thomas Rhett. It references this song in the second verse. Nice little shout out to his dad :)

Yup Rhett and Thomas’s dad and he co writes a bunch of Thomas’s songs today.

I never knew that his Dad either which that only song of his I know so

I was 18. Dating 2 guys. One drove a Ford and the other a Chevy. Fast forward 6 years. I was still dating the Chevy guy and met a guy that drove a Ford truck.

he did a old eddie rabbit song " driving my life away "

At some point take a listen to Clay Waker - IF I COULD MAKE A LIVIN (OUT OF LOVING YOU)

love and lost i have ben there

Rhett Akins never found a ton of success as a singer in the 90s with this being 1 of only 2 hits, but he is a very prolific songwriter and has had many many hit songs as a writer. You've probably reacted to a few songs he wrote already without even knowing it.

I got to see both Rhett Akins and Thomas Rhett together in a concert in Fort Wayne Indiana only standing only five feet apart from me doing this song , Thomas Rhett full name is Thomas Rhett Akins Jr.

Me: Yelling at the screen "Billy we (crazy pack) done told this before Man!" lol

You should react to Jessie Reyes. She’s got some amazing songs. My favorite is “do you love her”.

Billy I’d love it if you would react to Bobby Ann Manson by Rick Trevino.

This is one of those songs that I absolutely have to sing along to when I hear it. It's compulsory.

I’ve always been a huge Thomas Rhett fan ever since he started. One day this song came on and my mom said “You know who this is right? It’s Thomas Rhett’s dad” that’s the reason his stage name is Thomas Rhett, it’s after his dad 🥰

Can you react to Rick Trevino doctor time

Classic

You should react to Your Daughter by Chase McDaniel!

Try Tyler Farr "Redneck Crazy" if you haven't yet.

Saw this song live at Grad Night

Great reaction...love his music! Love your reaction!

Definitely check out Rhett Akins' "What They're Talking About". Badass song!

Billy if you like this one listen to his other song she said yes its a sweet song

So many good country music videos were filmed in Tucson, az

I just found out they were related recently myself 😆 I thought the names were just a coincidence.

That’s Thomas Rhett’s dad. Their name is Thomas Rhett Akins

Thomas Rhett wanted to make it on his own so he used the stage name. Thomas is his middle name and he used Rhett to honor his dad.

Thomas Rhett is Rhett akins son

When you found out it was his dad, it was hilarious!!

I wonder what happened that lead her having 2 options... At first it seemed like she was casual dating both and there was an understanding that she would until she chose who she would get serious with.... But then its like they had meaningful relationship already... So howd this other dude get involved?!?

Don't get me started by Rhett Akins is worth a reaction. You should check it out sometime. Great video by the way, classis reaction when you found out. 😆
