This will be Rodney's lead single from his upcoming album, to be released in 2009. He will be performing it on the CMAs, and it will be digitally available to radio immediately following the show.

Okay, who else is thinking that this is going to be a rehash of "These Are My People"?

Rumor has it, that Bruce Springsteen may sing this with him on the show. Two ... uh .. great singers.

I think Rodney took too much time between albums...he should have kept the singles coming. He may have lost his luster...also, haven't heard the song but the patriotic title discourages me to how good it can be.

^ The long wait was Curb's decision, not Rodney's. He said in an interview over the summer (July I believe) that his new album was done and ready to go, he was just waiting on the word from Curb as to when the lead single would be coming out. He sounded a tad bitter then, and that was 4 months ago. I agree with you about the patriotic title though, although maybe it'll be more like American Child than a true "rah rah" America song.

When I said Rodney I really meant the label. Trust me, I know that artists have little if anything to do with the timing of releases. I am just afraid that his momentum may not be what it once was.

I liked "These Are My People" as well; in fact, I've liked all of Atkins's singles so far (well, except In a Heartbeat and Somebody to Share It With, only because I haven't heard those).

I like Rodney's earlier stuff better than most of the releases off of his last album. Watching You and Come On In Boy certainly had their charm, but I was more than sick of them by the time they hit #1. It could just be the #1 factor though, I never got the chance to get sick of songs like Sing Along and Monkey In the Middle. My favorite from him is still Honesty though, followed closely by Monkey In The Middle and If You're Going Thru Hell.

GREAT song. I love it. And Rodney's performance at the CMAs was fantastic.

I'm not sure if I like this as much as any of the singles from his last album, but I think radio will eat this up. Rodney found a formula that worked for him, and it appears he's sticking to it.

This is a "Rodney" song and it works for him. I like it. :)

I really like this, as with most of his songs. But dang... it's not comforting to know that a.) he hasn't changed background vocalists and/or b.) he's got the same producer who still has the background vocals up way too much (for my tastes).

i think those reviews above are just a little too harsh, this song is sung for the country music audience who would consider the topics in this song to be nostalgic, why can't an artist taper a song towards his audience's values etc. why they take the lyrics so critically i have no idea?

Wow. So this means RF will have jumped from #6 to #1. I can't see them getting a six-week run like "Our Song" or "Just to See You Smile", though. Probably more like a "Sittin' on Go" type run. And maybe it'll end up getting about as much recurrent rotation as "Sittin' on Go" (in other words, none).
Not that "Sittin' on Go" is bad, mind you.

And it would have taken HCG only 12 weeks to hit #1. It'd be nice if they copy the performances of the last lead singles by Taylor, Kenny, and Sugarland, from last fall (two, two, and one week at #1, following quick sprints to the top). That could leave an open week or two, for Jason, Jake, and Rodney to fight over, before Carrie comes calling.

I'm guessing two weeks for Rascal Flatts...this song should get a week at the top
