Rodney Atkins Survives Vertigo
The video for Rodney Atkins hit “Take a Back Road” shows Rodney sitting on top of a steel bridge and singing from the top of a water tower. For most people, those can be pretty scary locations. For Rodney, it was a lot more. Rodney explained to Lon Helton of Country Countdown USA: “I have vertigo. I’m not afraid of heights, but if I go into a tall building looking out the window, and you lose equalibrium. Somehow you get up there, get focused, and it was fun.”
The other unique thing about the video is Rodney appears without his trademark baseball cap. “Sitting on top of a bridge like that, I wasn’t thinking about what I was wearing. I’d taken it off because it was so hot. It’s amazing how many comments we’ve received about that. It’s never been about my hat.”
