Even though his father is a country singer, Rhett didn’t plan on following his father’s footstep until he was in his senior year in high school. He landed his first song, “I Ain’t Ready To Quit,” due to this he started performing as a musician. In 2013, his first album to hit the top of the charts was, “It Goes Like This.” The album reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200.

He followed it with “Crash and Burn,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard’s Country Airplay and No. 2 on the Hot Country Chart. In 2016, “Die a Happy Man,” and “T-shirt” also topped the charts. In 2017, Rhett released his third studio album, Life Changes, which also helped him topped the charts.

Marry Me,” which is one of his single in his album Life Changes, is Rhett’s current hit. Now it peaked at No. 15 this year and remained on the chart for about 14 weeks.

Life Changes

Life Changes is Rhett’s’ third album released last 2017. He named his album as Life Changes because of how his life changed in a short period of time since he started as a country singer. Most of the songs in his album were written while he was on the road.
