NASHVILLE, TN. (SONY BMG Ent.) - Rhett Akins' new single 'Kiss My Country Ass' continues to be a fan favorite despite one recent reviewer who commented that the single 'should go over extremely well at the next Klan rally.' An offended Akins asked fans to post their feedback to the song on www.kissmycountryass.com. The website continues to receive hundreds of responses a week in support of the new single including:
Awesome, this song will go down in country music history as one of the all-time greats!
Instant classic! Get it on the air!
We love the song. We are country people who love to hunt, fish, ride four-wheelers, go muddin' and watch NASCAR so this song fits our life.
This is one of the greatest country songs I have ever heard! It definitely covers everything I consider to be country.
Best 'true' country song I've heard in a long time.
This is the type of song that country music needs.
I love this song!!! It tells the truth, no matter what people think.
The reviewer shows he can't fully relate to a country person's lifestyle and how we live and do things… things are a lot different once you get out of the big cities. This song is something that people can relate to.
Akins, father of two teenage children, an outdoorsman and a history lover, wrote the single as a fun, lighthearted song for everyone who wants to forget about life's stresses for a few minutes and really let loose. He took his own life experiences, his friends' experiences and those of the fans who come to his shows and was diligent to not leave anything out. The single has been met with an overwhelming response when Akins plays it in his concerts.
'Kiss My Country Ass' is the first single from Akins' upcoming album People Like Me which will be released this summer on BNA Records. Check out www.kissmycountryass.com to listen to the new single and leave your opinion.
