Trace Adkins Biography
Trace Adkins helped keep country's traditionalist flame burning
during the crossover-happy late '90s, mixing classic honky tonk with
elements of gospel, blues, and rock & roll. Adkins was born in the
small Louisiana town of Sarepta in 1962 and took up the guitar at an
early age; he went on to study music at Louisiana Tech, where he also
played football and worked on an offshore oil rig after graduating. His
finger was severed in an accident while on the job, and once several
years had passed, he returned to music with the gospel quartet the New
Commitments. In the early '90s he began to pursue a solo career,
playing honky tonk bars and clubs as often as he could, and honing a
powerful, wide-ranging baritone voice in the process. He spent several
years on the circuit and finally moved to Nashville to try his luck in
the industry; he was quickly signed to Capitol by Scott Hendricks,
who'd produced the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill, and Alan
Jackson.
Adkins issued his debut album, Dreamin' Out Loud, in 1996, and it
established him as a rising star. The lead single, Every Light in the
House, went to number three; I Left Something Turned on at Home hit
number two; and (This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing went all the way to
number one. His 1997 follow-up album, Big Time, spawned another Top
Five hit in The Rest of Mine, and Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone just
missed the Top Ten. However, it wasn't quite the commercial powerhouse
of Dreamin' Out Loud; neither was its follow-up, 1999's More, which
featured just one Top Ten single in the title track. Nonetheless, all
three albums made the country Top Ten.
2001's Chrome brought Adkins into the Top Five of the country album
charts for the first time, as the Top Ten lead single, I'm Tryin',
proved to be his biggest hit since The Rest of Mine. In July of that
year, Adkins was arrested for drunk driving and later pled guilty. The
title track of Chrome belatedly climbed into the Top Ten in early 2003.
Capitol released Greatest Hits Collection, Vol. 1 in July of 2003 and
its companion DVD, Video Hits, in February 2004 with Adkins's fifth
studio album, the December 2003 release Comin' on Strong, sandwiched in
between. In 2005, Adkins had a major hit with Honky Tonk Badonkadonk
from his album Songs About Me. The album Dangerous Man was released a
year later. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
