Tim Atwood Previews New Song "Mom" for Mother's Day

By Tmothy Yap May 13, 2018 05:33 PM EDT

Tim Atwood has played behind some of the greatest country music performers of all time. For 38 years he played in the staff band at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, performing alongside everyone from Garth Brooks to Carrie Underwood to Jeannie Seely. Over those years Atwood developed a reputation as one of the most polished and energetic performers to claim that stage.

In 2018, Atwood takes a step back into center stage as a solo artist, where his star is shining brighter than ever. The Opry veteran is managing a busy live show schedule, with television appearances, radio interviews, and readying his third solo album - appropriately titled Livin' The Dream - due out this summer, independently.

As Atwood explained it, the first track he recorded for Livin' The Dream was "Mom," a heartfelt piano ballad he dedicates to all Moms everywhere, but especially to his own.

"When I produced my new album Livin' The Dream, the first song I recorded for the project was 'Mom'. Although I never heard her complain, I came to understand that my mom sacrificed living her own dreams, so that I could live mine. By every definition she was the epitome of unconditional love. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss her. Today I'm Living The Dream for us both. Thank you, Mom!"

On a recent appearance on RFD-TV's Larry's Country Diner, Atwood performed the piano ballad, and explained the context behind the song's meaning.

Atwood was also a recent winner of the Musician of the Year award from the Academy of Western Music. He also won Entertainer of the Year at the R.O.P.E. (Reunion of Professional Entertainers) Awards, where he was nominated among some of the most beloved artists in the format, like Gene Watson, Rhonda Vincent and Jeannie Seely.

Needless to say, it's a busy time for Tim Atwood - and he's grateful for every bit of it.

"I am a blessed man, and I know it" Atwood humbly states. "I'm not sure where this journey will take me, but one thing is for sure. I am enjoying the ride."
