Amazon.com: Graced with one of 2001's most distinct voices, Adkins begins by sinking his leathery growl into the title number--a rap track, but one possessing enough wit to avoid falling into gimmickry. From there, the curve is upward. The hit "I'm Tryin'," a simple inspirational message wrapped in a complex arrangement, possesses strength and integrity too rarely seen in hit singles. Adkins's real-life blue-collar past imbues "Thankful Man" with a believability missing when such songs wind up in the hands of singers from middle-class college backgrounds. While keeping the otherwise mundane "Scream" and "Once a Fool Ago" above water, he rises above the norm with "I'm Goin' Back." This take on the timeless country-boy-hates-the-big-city scenario succeeds on every level, even if the word "discern" seems a bit out of place. The excruciating anguish of "Help Me Understand" and the self-explanatory "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" exemplify power ballads done right. The message? One can make a record that reconciles the normally disparate virtues of commerciality and honesty. --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.
Chrome The CD was great. Of course with anything that is associated with Trace Adkins it would be. I can't wait till his next CD comes out. I have everyone so far.
Chrome, Is The Second best Trace Adkins cd i've heard. It has alot of good song on it, my personal favorites are I'm Tryin', Chrome & Scream.

EXCELLENT! BUY THIS CD!! This is the cd that introduced me to the wonder of Trace Adkins. I'd never heard him until i heard the songs "Tryin'" and "Help Me Understand" on the country radio station. That song is a power ballad that just rips my heart out every time i hear it. There is such pure honesty and conviction in his voice when he sings this song. I don't know how anyone can't be moved by this song. "Tryin'" is another amazing power ballad that is an inspirational song about not giving up when life constantly throws obstacles at you. It's also very moving in the way Trace delivers it. The opening track "Chrome" is amazing! He starts the song with a sexy growl and sings about cars and his big black Mack truck. He talks about the truck in a very sexy way, and about a woman who loves trucks and cars. It is very much a novelty song for Trace, as it's probably the closest thing to "country-rap" from Trace that you'll hear, but Trace pulls off the song with confidence and it's a fun song. There is not ONE bad track on the cd. Every single track is amazing and great! The cd is loaded with hit singles, many that didn't get released but should have. What i love most about Trace Adkins is that his voice doesn't sound like any male out there in country at all. He's a one-of-a-kind original with his amazing rich baritone voice. This guy sings pure country from his heart and soul. This cd sold me on Trace Adkins and i bought many of his earlier cds too, and they are all great! This guy was inducted into the country music hall of fame and i'm really happy about that. You can tell from seeing him in interviews and listening to the way he sings that here is NOTHING phoney or fake about Trace Adkins! The guy is a good person and has a good heart, which shines in his music. His honesty and purity of voice makes his songs of love or loss or heartache that much more believeable. Trace, you have a fan for life. Can't wait to get your latest cd. I hear it's even better than Chrome. I find that hard to believe you can top this cd, but if you can, then WOW! Your Chrome cd is total perfection! I'd rate it higher if i could.
Not enough I'm a great fan and loved the CD. I just have one complaint. Not enough of the great songs were made into singles and videos. Many didn't hear the best songs from this album. Chrome was not my favorite song on the album. The best song was the last song not the first.......Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow was by far the best and would have been a hit as a video or single.
