The country music superstar Trace Adkins has been a constant presence on the Nashville charts for just over a decade. The ruggedly good-looking Adkins has been remarkably successful in coupling a powerhouse voice with some surprisingly touching lyrics and melodies. While never achieving crossover success, Trace Adkins' journeyman approach to songwriting and touring has won him a devoted group of serious country music fans who are always eager to see what the accomplished musician is going to do next. Trace Adkins' was born in the small town of Sarepta, Louisiana, where his father taught him to play the guitar at an early age. This family connection to music is apparent in many of Adkins' songs throughout his career. His interest in music never waned, and he joined up with his high school's gospel choir. Following college, Adkins accepted a dangerous job on an oilrig. It was while employed on the rig that Trace Adkins was involved in an industrial accident that ultimately cost him his pinky finger. Miraculously, as if to imitate one of his own songs, the finger was amputated at an angle that still allows him to use it to play the guitar. Trace then decided to focus on his music, and gigged around at local Nashville bars. He was discovered by a Capitol Records employee and quickly signed to the label in 1996. Trace Adkins hasn't looked back since. His first album, Dreamin' Out Loud, featured the toe-tapping single "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing," which turned out to be Trace's first no.1 on the Billboard Country charts. Following an arrest for driving under the influence, Trace Adkins released his first certified no.1 album, 2001's Chrome. While the singer's songwriting has matured and his hooks have gotten a catchier, overall he hasn't changed things much since his debut. The basic formula of picking up the tempo, sipping a couple shots and kicking up your heals is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and Trace Adkins' singles "Honky Tonk Badokadonk" and "Girls Love Country Boys" have both been big radio hits and crowd pleasers at recent shows.
