Having said that, few details exist about Rodney’s early years – the names of his parents, any siblings, and educational background all remain hidden from public eyes, despite all the glory Rodney has acquired over the years. Hopefully, information in regards to his early life become available in the near future, as many of his fans would love to hear more about this prominent musician, stand-up comedian, and actor.

Career Beginnings

Rodney spent his childhood and first 20 years of his life in his hometown, after which he moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a musician, as he had launched his stand-up comedy career, performing at local clubs and venues, but also reaching out to several radio stations. Encouraged by his early success, he decided to move to Nashville, where he got wider exposure. It was in 1998 that he released his debut studio album, entitled “Hangin’ with Rodney”, comprised of both songs and stand-up comedy. Released through Mercury Records Nashville, it reached No. 73 on the Top Country Albums Chart – one of the most popular songs was “Letter to My Penis”.

Rise to Prominence

After the release of his first album, Rodney signed a contract with Capitol Nashville, which came out in 2000 with the album entitled “Morning Wood”, actually his most successful release until the present, as it achieved gold status in the US, and was the first album to reach the top 20 on the US Country chart. Rodney continued mixing comedy routines and songs, which gave him continual success with the albums “Nut Sack” (2003), which peaked at No. 14 on the Country Chart, then “King of the Mountains” in 2007, and “El Niño Loco”, which came out in 2009 and was his next album that got into the top 20 on the Country Chart, reaching No. 19. His career then went into something of a decline, and his contract with the Capitol Nashville was terminated. Since then, Rodney has released two more albums through his own label, Laughter’s Good Records; the first came out in 2014, “Laughter’s Good”, and then “Here Comes the Truth” in 2017. Before the release of his last album, Rodney ventured on his first concert tour, performing across the USA.
