Rhett is an awesome guy. I met him when I was little. He was good friends with my dad back in the day. My dad passed away last year and Rhett was nice enough to send a letter to be read at his funeral. I’ll always be grateful for that 💯
@soganoflarider2 жыл бұрын
That’s not surprising of Rhett to do that. Heath I grew up with Rhett and his brothers, I don’t see them much anymore but I speak to Mr Buzz whenever I’m home off the road. So many of Rhett’s songs are true to how we all grew up.
