The album, which featured fan favorite songs "Letter to My Penis" and "Fred," sold more than 475,000 copies and established Rodney, with his trademark black cowboy hat, boots, and Texas twang, as the king of middle class comedy.

The next few years saw four more Top 10 albums: "Live", "Morning Wood", "Nutsack", and "Greatest Hits", all of which continue to receive major radio airplay on both country and rock formats. "Morning Wood" and "Greatest Hits", a double CD, have both earned the RIAA gold record certification, and are well on the way to platinum status. His major network comedy, "Rodney", ran on ABC from 2004-2006.

Rodney's popularity derives, in large part, from his closeness with his audience. Instead of moving to Los Angeles or Nashville, Rodney stayed in Tulsa, Oklahoma; he keeps grounded through frequent live shows. He has been a Pollstar Top 100 grossing concert act since 2001, reaching #28 in 2003 before television commitments forced him to cut back his touring schedule. Now that he's back to full-time touring, he regularly sells out back-to-back 3,000 seat concerts in major cities.

"People feel like I'm someone they're familiar with, someone that's in their family or that they know. One woman told me, 'You live what we live. You talk about what we live.' People identify with the struggles in my life."

Rodney has no plans to change his regular guy approach. "I have no agenda. I don't want to change anyone's mind on anything. But I feel an obligation to the people who support me. I want to entertain them, to be funny. I figure if I get the comedy right, success will follow."
