Amazon.com: While the term sound-alike easily applies to quite a few singers, Trace Adkins's husky, thoroughly honest baritone is among country's most distinctive and compelling voices. The opening title song of More... sets an optimistic tone that continues with "I'm Gonna Love You Anyway" and "Can I Want Your Love." Contrasting with the jocular Western swing of "All Hat, No Cattle," which pairs Adkins with Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel, is the eloquent, authoritative blue-collar homage "Working Man's Wage," free of the posturing that often undermines similar songs. True, George Jones could work wonders with "The Night He Can't Remember," yet Adkins, a cowriter, more than does it justice. Not that he sidesteps sorrow. The bittersweet "She's Still There" and the painful "Don't Lie" face it head-on. "Every Other Friday at Five" takes an uplifting look at the responsible side of divorced fatherhood. Adkins's ability to navigate the decidedly dicey waters of Nashville while maintaining a rock-ribbed traditional perspective reflects talent for the long haul. --Rich Kienzle
Trace Adkins the ladies heart throb My wife is the biggest Trace fan ever. So I have purchased most of the Cd's that he has published so far. The only ones I don't have are the ones with the same song as her others. But this seller did a good job for me, the product was of good quality and the delivery speed was excellent. I would recommend seller to anyone.
He has certain appeal He is quite unique in the way he writes & sings!
A seasoned and diverse artist. He's getting better every CD! On his third CD, Trace delivers a well-balanced set of songs which range from slow to fast and straight country to rock country. There is something on this CD for everybody from serious to fun. The CD starts off rocking with the title cut which is truly one of the best songs. Other songs carrying that classic upbeat "Trace Groove" are Can I Want Your Love and I Can Dig It. There are countless slower and mid-tempo songs that lyrically stand-up on there own touching on issues from handling divorce, Every Other Friday At Five to respect for the working man, Working Man's Wage , which Trace says he did for his father. Add Trace's vocal to the mix and you've got all around solid country music. Of course several deal with love and heartache such as I'm Gonna Love You Anyway, Don't Lie and Everything Takes Me Back which are all excellent songs.
And of course, every cowboy should love All Hat, No Cattle which Trace recorded with Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. He says the song is as much poking fun at himself as it is anyone else. He says even though he doesn't own a ranch that being a cowboy, in his opinion, is an attitude, the way you live your life and a frame of mind.
This is an all around solid CD that I take with me on the road along with Trace's second CD, Big Time. They are the kind of CD's that I know every lyric on them.

he's got a great voice, without a doubt! I've bought the first two Trace's CD and really got stunned by his voice and rythm, this release is no exception, great songs, love it!
Not a country and western fan - but Heard a cut on the radio and decided to sample listen on Amazon. I think he has one of the most natural pure voices I have heard in a long time. His song "Every Other Friday At Five" made my eyes get wet! If a Hollywood producer were to make a movie on divorce, this should be the title cut. I have bought his other two CD's too. They are all winners. I can't get enough of listening to his music. I think I'll be a fan for life.
