Background[edit]
Rodney Good is an award-winning music industry professional based in Nashville, TN. Good’s career in the music business has spanned over 30 years and counting. Good got his start in the music industry while he was attending Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee..[1] He landed an internship at major recording studio, Eleven Eleven Sound. After honing his skills through many hours in the studio, Good became a staff engineer. Within 3 years he was appointed studio manager. While at Eleven Eleven Sound, Good worked with many of the recording industry's top artists including John Denver, Bruce Hornsby, George Jones, Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys, Roy Orbison, The Statler Brothers, Dolly Parton, & Wayne Newton, to name just a few. Good went on to manage another major studio, Revolution Sound [1]. It was there that he recorded such greats as Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash as well as his future wife Jamie O'Neal. Good has spent a majority of his career as an independent engineer/producer working with artists such as Waylon Jennings, The Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, Colin Raye, Ricky Skaggs, Ronnie Milsap, and Phil Vassar [1]
Throughout his career as an audio engineer, Good has also maintained a career as a singer and musician "on the other side of the glass". He has lent his voice to numerous Nashville demos and sung backing vocals on recordings by Billy Ray Cyrus, Jamie O'Neal, and many others. After playing in a rock band for years, Good & his band "The Matters" were eventually signed to EMI/Heartworks Music.[1]. Since "the rock thing wasn't panning out and my wife's country career was" Good joined the Jamie O'Neal band on guitar and backing vocals. He eventually become the band leader and has toured with her for the last 17 years and counting. During this time Good has also been fortunate to sing and play guitar for other artists including Michael McDonald, Willie Nelson, Lee Ann Womack, Andy Griggs, and Ty Herndon [1]
Through the years, Good has taken on many roles in the entertainment industry. One of his biggest accomplishments to date has been continuing his career in music for as long as he has. “I've worked as a singer, guitar player, engineer, producer, band leader, songwriter, & studio manager” explains Good, "I've been fortunate to work on records that are enjoyed by millions of people and to perform in front of millions of people. I never take that for granted". Good has achieved the longevity that most musicians and music professionals only dream of, yet he’s pushing forward for even more success.[1]
In 1996, Good met singer/songwriter Jamie O’Neal in the recording studio [1]. Good would later go on to marry O'Neal and have a daughter, named Aliyah.
