Trace Adkins Accidentally Recorded an Album of Love Songs

Billy Dukes — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:00:26 +0000

‘Love Will …’ is the new collection of love songs from Trace Adkins. It’s a project that makes complete sense, as few men in country music can match the singer’s romantic baritone. Adkins says he didn’t intend to make the project he ended up with, however. The album was finished last August, but the singer [...]

Trace Adkins Says Losing His House Brought Him Back to 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Christina Vinson — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:00:49 +0000

One thing’s for sure: Trace Adkins is a strong example of what tough people do -- not only in his music, but also in life. The four-time Grammy-nominated artist has seen great success as well as devastating loss -- especially the 2011 loss of his house in an electrical fire while the singer was traveling to Alaska. Since then, he has realized the necessity of making every moment count, and that includes being bluntly honest when needed.
