Rodney Atkins' "Farmer's Daughter" Feels Familiar
Rodney Atkins is a familiar kind of guy. You can't help but to feel comfortable when you listen to his music. His easygoing, laid-back style fits right into his new music video for "Farmer's Daughter." Watching it for the first time, you get the feeling that you've seen it before. With wide-open shots, fields of crops and country living, it's reminiscent of his videos for "Watching You" and "It's America." Even though the storyline for "Farmer's Daughter," about a young farmhand who falls in love with his boss' daughter, is different, the basic elements that make up Atkins' music videos are all there: baseball caps, beat-up old cars, acoustic guitars, family and cute, tasteful lyrics. All of these things, along with his gravelly voice, seem to have become his trademarks.

Bernie says:
Sounds familiar too as this song uses almost the same melody throughout as “Watching You.” Can’t artists come up with new melodies anymore? Same applies to Gretchen Wilson’s “Work Hard Play Harder” — almost the same melody as “Here For The Party.” Geez!

It sounds familiar because its a big giant cliche, sung by a man with limited vocal ability.

Tina says:
Oh my…that last one is kind of like “Fruit Salad” from the Wiggles. It just stays with you until you reach a level of insanity. At least it’s “Fruit Salad” with a level of just plain fun. LOL. So fun.
