Trace Adkins biography

Trace Adkins is a successful American Country singer/songwriter originally from Louisiana who has been active as a musician since 1995.

Tracy's debut into the music industry was described as a big success when his very first single 'There's a Girl in Texas' reached the top twenty on the US Country charts. His debut album 'Dreamin' Out Loud' followed in 1996 and charted within the top 10 on the Country albums chart.

Adkins has had continuous chart success since the release of his debut and has had 20 hit singles on the Billboard country music charts, many of which topped the charts such as 'Ladies Love Country Boys' and 'You're Gonna Miss This'. Due to his strong and consistent presence on the US Billboard and Country charts means that all but one of his studio albums now holds a gold or platinum selling certification. He has sold millions of records worldwide, with the 2005 release 'Songs About Me' contributing two million copies to date.

Those who are unaware of Adkins' music may actually know his baritone voice from the voiceovers for popular restaurant chain KFC. In 2008 the country star took part in the celebrity version of The Apprentice to raise money for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network charity, he eventually finished the series as the runner up to British presenter Piers Morgan. Since 2010 he has made more regular appearances in the land of the silver screen, taking roles in 'The Lincoln Lawyer' 'Lifted' and 'Mom's Night Out'.

Live reviews

Seeing Trace Adkins at the Grand Ole Opry was quite the experience that I will never forget. The venue was set up well for Trace, and they had all of the lights set up to show him off very well before he even came onto the stage. It was not the type of environment where you jump around and dance to the music, rather you just enjoy the greatness of the country artist at hand.

Trace was celebrating his 10th anniversary during the show and he came out with a black v neck shirt on and a black cowboy hat. He started to sing right away barely even acknowledging the crowd. As seen with many artists before, the microphone said Grand Ole Opry on it. While this was not a prop for Trace it will still a prop on the stage that could not be unseen since it was right in front of Trace.

The first song that he performed was 'This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing' and it started of the concert great. Trace sounded wonderful and the rest of the band members hit their notes just the way that they should have. I was glad to have been able to see a legend such as Trace Adkins in person because he really sung a good show.
