Trace Adkins On The State Of Country Music
As the calendar is about to turn on a phenomenal year for Country music, it’s time to sit back and reflect a bit.
Country’s influence and impact reached far and wide this past year. Cross-over artists like Taylor Swift and Lady A brought their music to millions of fans, many of whom may have been getting their first taste of the genre. Country artists finished first and second on the latest season of American idol with Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. Then there was Blake Shelton, who brought a funny, thoughtful and sometimes surprisingly compassionate face to Country through his work on NBC’s “The Voice”.

PHOTO: Trace Adkins Tears Down Burned Home
Trace Adkins posted a picture this afternoon on his Facebook page of his family home being torn down today to start the rebuild. His house caught on fire in the Summer while his family was home, but luckily no one was hurt. The fire was believed to have started by the dryer in the garage thanks to an electrical issue.

The family have been staying in a cabin since the fire.
REVIEW: Trace Adkins – Million Dollar View
Trace Adkins’ singles are always unpredictable. He can hit you with one of the most beautiful ballads, then leave you scratching your head over his latest for-fun, silly little song. He’s never one to play it “safe,” and he’s never released a single that was a guaranteed hit on country radio. Maybe that’s why he’s so likable: that his entire career was built on risk, and love it or hate it kind of singles. Even his albums change from release to release; with fans never sure if they’re going to get the joking side or serious side of Trace with each record.
“Million Dollar View” is as close to safe as Trace has ever been. The latest release off of his newest album “Proud To Be Here” was custom-made for country radio. The follow-up to “Just Fishin’,” his first solo top 10 hit in almost three years, (“Hillbilly Bone” with Blake Shelton aside), it should do just as well as the first single off the album. It’s a sentimental but up-beat song where Trace explains how it doesn’t matter what everyone else in the world thinks is the most beautiful place in the world – he has all he has to see in his woman. Maybe it’s a little more heartfelt now since he lost his house to a fire earlier in the year.
VIDEO: Trace Adkins Performs Anthem At Game Two
Trace Adkins was the second country artist to perform the national anthem at the Game Series this year on FOX last night. Before he went out on the diamond, he discussed his friendship with Tony La Russa and the Cardinals HERE.
Watch his great performance below:
Scotty McCreery sang the anthem at Game One, and country legend Ronnie Dunn will sing it at Game Three. Looks like baseball loves its country stars!
Trace Adkins & Ronnie Dunn Singing At World Series
Trace Adkins and Ronnie Dunn have both just been announced as performing the national anthem at the World Series. Fellow country artist Scotty McCreery recently sang the anthem at game one of the baseball series. Trace will perform tonight at the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals game in Texas, and Ronnie Dunn will sing at game three on Sunday night.
I’m pretty sure they won’t pull a Christina Aguilera and forgot the lyrics to the national anthem on live television.
