Trace Adkins Tickets Information

Trace Adkins
Tracy Darrell Adkins, also known as Trace Adkins is an American country singer-songwriter from Sarepta, south of Springhill in northern Webster Parish, Louisiana. Adkins began his music career in the early 90s and by the 2000s had established himself as one of the most powerful and engaging singers in the country music industry.

Early Life
Adkins, born January 13, 1962, showed his inclination towards music at an early age when his father taught him to play the guitar. He continued to pursue his interest in music throughout high school, where he joined a gospel music group called the New Commitments. Adkins later went on to study at the Louisiana Tech University and after graduation, took up work at an oil rig. In an accident, he lost the pinky finger on his left hand and asked doctors to re-attach the finger at an angle so that he could continue to play guitar. He started off playing in honky tonk bars around Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1990s when he was spotted by a Capitol Records executive who soon signed him to the label.

Music career
In 1996, Trace released his first single called "There's a Girl in Texas", which reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. The single was followed by the release later that year of a debut album titled Dreamin' Out Loud. The album produced several hit singles, including the No. 1 hit "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing". Adkins released a second album titled Big Time, which produced a Top 5 hit with the song "The Rest of Mine" but his subsequent singles were not so successful. After his second album, a change in management delayed the release of Adkins' next album. The third album titled More was eventually released in late 1999 and its title track reached the Top 10 in the charts.

Personal Setbacks
July of 2005 marked a downturn in Adkins' personal life when he was charged with drunk driving in Nolensville, Tennessee. The singer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 months in jail. The sentence, however, was suspended after 48 hours and Adkins got away with paying a $350 fine and having his license suspended for one year. Shortly after this incident, Adkins was injured in a tractor accident and was forced to cancel his touring plans. In the meantime, Trace managed to release his fourth album 'Chrome' which was the first of his albums to reach the Top 5 on the country album charts. He then entered a 28-day rehabilitation program in Nashville to treat his alcohol addiction.

Rise to Fame
2003 was a big year for Adkins when he released two albums; one a 'Greatest Hits' collection and the other titled 'Comin' On Strong'. In the same year Adkins was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. He also made appearances as the center square on the popular game show Hollywood Squares and did voice-overs in commercials for fast-food chain KFC. At the same time, Adkins' album 'Comin' On Strong' produced the Top 5 hit "Hot Mama", as well as a censored version of the song "Rough and Ready", the original version of which was too profane to be played on radio.

By the end of 2003 Adkins had established himself as one of country music's most versatile and powerful artists. His position was further strengthened by the fact that he was working with talented professionals such as producers Frank Rogers and Dann Huff, songwriters Craig Wiseman, Rivers Rutherford, Tony Lane and Racal Flatts' Jay Demarcus, and a stellar team of Nashville's top session players.

Adkins' popularity increased yet further with tracks such as "Ladies Love Country Boys," "Swing," and "Southern Hallelujah". His music was a mixture of lively love and romance tracks, honky-tonk and dance floor tunes. Other songs such as "Words Get In The Way" and "I Wanna Feel Something," expressed more deeper emotions related to love, introspection and personal struggles. Tracks such as "The Stubborn One" and "I Came Here To Live" reflected Adkins at his emotional best, with lyrics discussing the deeper meaning of relationships. It was through this kind of music that Adkins gained a reputation as one of the most engaging singers in the country music industry.

Recent Releases
In 2005, Adkins released an album titled 'Songs About Me'. This album included a controversial track "Arlington" that narrated the point of view of a soldier about to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Due to its sensitive lyrics, the song was withdrawn from radio. Another track on the album called "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", was the first to reach the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2006 Adkins released his seventh studio album titled 'Dangerous Man'. The album's first single "Swing", became a minor hit, but the following track "Ladies Love Country Boys" was Adkins' first No. 1 single on the country charts after "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing" in 1997. The album's third single, "I Wanna Feel Something", proved unsuccessful on the charts and was eventually dropped by Adkins. Recently in August 2007 Adkins released his lead single "I Got My Game On," from his latest album.
