Walker Hayes’ “Feet” on Rodney Atkins’ New Album

Rodney Atkins‘ new album, Take A Back Road will hit stores on October 4th. There’s song that’s a little familiar to me, but I couldn’t quite figure it out. Well, it turns out, one of our favorite up-and-coming artists, Walker Hayes, has a cut on the album. “Feet” narrates a fight between a man and woman, that can all made better with the touch of their feet.

You can preview Rodney’s version here.

Walker Hayes- Climbing the Musical Ladder

Walker Hayes is one of our favorite up-and-coming artists in Nashville. His debut funny single, “Pants” is always a crowd favorite, and his soong-to-be-released album, Reason to Rhyme boasts several songs that are both equally comical and some serious tunes as well. Besides his unique sound, it’s Walkers fun-loving and down-to-earth personality that make him a fan-favorite.

Walker is the New Artist Spotlight in this months CMA Close-up. Bob Doerschuk sat down with the frat-boy turned father of almost 4 kidlets (Walker’s high school sweetheart and wife, Laney is preggers with the couple’s 4th child). The couple met while in a production of Little Shop of Horrors. They moved to Nashville after he graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a music degree. Walker paid his dues at Bluebird writers’ nights, playing at Puckett’s grocery, and finally earning his own record deal after singing demos for songs being pitched to Keith Urban.

Now Walker is climbing the musical ladder, paying his dues as an opening act. He’s opened for Darius Rucker, Joe Nichols, and on the Country Throwdown Tour.
