I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD | Rhett Akins - That Ain't My Truck REACTION!

[@amandalinard9835]

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.

[@youmadbro9024]

TR is amazing. And that little smile he does is adorable. 😂❤😂

[@lelahhandley7025]

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

[@Michellef1117]

I love love love him and his son

[@katrinakrug9841]

Thomas was 4 when this song was written and recorded 😁

[@amberplaugh4410]

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

[@TimedRevolver]

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.

[@allstopblue5717]

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

[@redarrow3722]

Saw this guy at the WildHorse Saloon on Disney’s Pleasure Island years ago. Was cool to see him play not only country, but do awesome covers of classic rock songs. Very talented guy!

[@saremile]

Check out Rhett Akins "She said Yes" Great song and Great message in video

[@Mark2756042]

I'll second "She Said Yes"!!!

[@juliemiller2874]

I'll third it!!

[@melissawoolbright9497]

On of my favorites. I still cry to that song

[@NycLavoisier]

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

[@hectorcartagena2870]

Yup his Dad....Thomas Rhett.

[@Michellef1117]

I'd love to hear his son cover this song

[@joannbrooks9410]

love this

[@joseluisarteaga1681]

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

[@nicholascoleman5845]

The modern day version of this song is Tyler Farr- Redneck Crazy. Very similar song but with a modern spin

[@dmneeds]

This one would make for a good reaction.

[@Michellef1117]

I love that song haha

[@windstrea]

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

[@xvxv711]

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

[@thereseerickson7462]

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

[@brookemoloney5488]

I literally screamed when I heard the song for the first time 😂 I was like “it’s from his dad’s song!!” 🤣🤣

[@thelillie80]

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 :)

[@TheNascarfan999]

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.

[@millisacrossen1327]

I love 90's music including country ❤

Glad ya finally got around to this one Billy…..from a guy who grew up with Rhett and his two brothers 😜👍

[@aero6235]

Rhett Akins is one of the best song writers ever!

[@melissawoolbright9497]

You should see/hear "She said yes" by Rett Akins. One of my favs. It will bring #Billyyousoemotiomal

[@nathanhallock2940]

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

[@tommy_tank_2413]

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

[@bsociety4647]

You're spot on Billy. Thomas Rhett is actually Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. He's like the spitting image of his dad and even his singing voice is identical. Rhett made him by himself basically 😂😂

[@NikkiDee]

Well color me surprised! I just learned something new today! Had no idea they were related!

[@jamestate5059]

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

[@kevinsharpjr]

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.

[@ashleyd6393]

Your name made me think of the country singer Kevin Sharp, he sang "nobody knows it but me" then years later babyface covered his song

[@kevinsharpjr]

@@ashleyd6393 great song, unfortunately I am not related to him , but it made my dad the talk of the family in a good way

[@ashleyd6393]

@@kevinsharpjr aw I love that. The old country is the best. Kevin sharp passed away but I'll never forget sitting in my grandparents livingroom hearing it for the first time.

One of my favorite songs.

[@jamestate5059]

Love this song

Love this song😍😍😍

[@EagleSquad777]

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

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

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.

[@TheDoug88las]

Facts. And early 2000s.

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

@@TheDoug88las Yeah, the early 2000s was ok. Country music went down hill after 2010s.

[@dv8nxs944]

@@linkfromhyrule5504 started turning into country/pop/rap

[@allstopblue5717]

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

[@auraveenley.8743]

SUCH a good jam

[@TheDoug88las]

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

[@raefarnsworth4278]

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.

[@Mark2756042]

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

[@thereseerickson7462]

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

[@starlaminde8436]

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.

[@crystalaldaba5991]

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

[@jackroberts3766]

I'm dealing with this now and it hurts

[@morganfern29]

Thomas Rhett is Rhett Akins’s son. I just found out on google. I had no idea. Wow!

[@D.JKennedy]

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

[@pjhelbig]

You can tell this guy doesn't give a shit about Rhett Akins OR his truck LOL. Too funny!

[@derrickgoff6265]

Saw this song live at Grad Night

[@AZMATTAZ06]

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

[@MuriKakari]

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

[@AshMcNeely]

Thomas Rhett’s dad. lol yes they looks so much alike

[@brookemoloney5488]

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 🥰

[@chrisdutton2975]

I've been trying to tell my wife that if Thomas Rhett shaved his beard, he'd look exactly like his dad. She disagrees. Billy just proved me right!

[@jeanettewilson264]

You put a cowboy hat on Thomas he looks just like his Daddy!!!

[@JonathanRamsey87]

When I found out Thomas Rhett is Rhett Akins son I realized I’m getting old

[@LeftMindedThoughts]

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. 😆

[@Tabby_Angela]

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

[@terarosen7909]

i didnt' know it either. that they were related

[@jamestate5059]

What happens when the smile goes away is he sees the girl walk over to the other guy

[@coryemm4872]

😂 Rhett Akins genes are STRONG. Thomas Rhett looks like a Rhett Akins Clone

[@TexasMagnolia]

This was Rhett’s debut song. On of many great 80’s Country. Yes, you are right.

[@dv8nxs944]

You're totally wrong. First of all, this song is from 1995,not the 80s. He didn't start until 1992 anyway. This was the song that got his name out there, not his debut song. He had 2 singles before this song. Quit talking about shit you don't know

[@aaronbraschler8003]

Rhett Adkins also wrote half the country songs you have done videos on he's written so many songs Google them he's the biggest country song writer of our generation for Blake Shelton Luke Brian and more
