Episode Details

Rhett Akins, the legendary songwriter behind thirty-five number-one hits, just got his biggest honor yet: a surprise invitation from Jon Pardi to join the Grand Ole Opry. Tearing up on stage at the Opry, Akins — a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and lifelong fan — accepted the dream he never thought possible. The emotional night included a father-son performance with his son Thomas Rhett, who called it his dad’s ultimate career goal. After the show, fans and Pardi celebrated with Akins, who performed hits like “Dirt On My Boots.” His official induction is set for later this year — a milestone for a true country music icon.
