Rodney Atkins Takes Hand-Me-Downs From Martina McBride
It makes sense that two country stars would have the same taste in tour buses. But I never realized you could actually pass down a bus from one artist to another. In this video interview with Rodney Atkins, though, he talks about how he was in love with Martina McBride’s tour bus when he was first on the road as her opening act. So when her lease ran out, the bus company offered it to Team Atkins. They’ve made some changes to the big red bus since signing the papers. It’s now adorned with 12-gauge shotgun shells around the window frames, pictures of Atkins’ family and the third place ribbon he and his son won in the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby. There’s no ribbon hanging on the bus wall for his No. 1 song, “It’s America,” but I’m guessing he’ll find some other way to commemorate that.
