Rodney Atkins

'I encouraged him to have his own voice. 'Sing like you sing,'' Atkins says in a new interview with Taste of Country.

Almost 20 years ago, Rodney Atkins' young son Elijah inspired 'Watching You.' Now, in a new duet version of the song, he's singing its lyrics with his country star father.

These 21 country songs sum up the unconditional love a parent has for their little (or not so little) boy.

Rodney Atkins' son Eli is all grown up and living a full-circle moment that will melt country fans' hearts.

Got a birthday coming up? So do these country artists!

Let county music tell dad how you feel about him this Father's Day.

"It absolutely breaks my heart," he says.

Some of these songs will have you reaching for the tissues.

We all know that country music is good for the soul, but that's not all: It can literally save your life.

The country music world has a lot of BFFs. No wonder the genre has so many great best friend songs.

Country stars live glamorous lives, but it hasn't always been glitz and glory for your favorite artists.
