Thomas Rhett criticized by his father

Thomas Rhett followed in his father's footsteps, but that doesn't mean there wasn't constructive criticism involved! Thomas recalls the times his dad gave him advice, ideas and critiques that lead him to become the star he is today. 

“Dad has always just been such a constant when it comes to me and my  live show,” Thomas Rhett said of his dad Rhett Akins, a prominent  country singer-songwriter himself.  “A lot of that comes from me just  growing up watching him play so many shows as an artist.”

“I’ll walk offstage and know that I did not play my best show, and  he’s always the first one to be like, ‘Yeah, you know, a couple of  things were pretty rough. But overall, it was good,'” he said. “He’s  always been that calming presence and has always been the guy that says,  ‘Why don’t you try swappin’ these two songs and see what happens,’ or  ‘It’s all right … Don’t worry that we don’t have your first single, we  will make it happen one way or the other.'”
