Trace Adkins helped keep country's traditionalist flame burning during the crossover-happy tardy '90s, commixture classical honky tonk with elements of gospel, megrims, and rock & roll out. Adkins was born in the pocket-size Louisiana town of Sarepta in 1962 and took up the guitar at an early age; he went on to sketch music at Louisiana Tech, where he also played football and worked on an offshore oil colour rig after graduating. His finger was severed in an stroke spell on the job, and once several days had passed, he returned to music with the gospel quadruple the New Commitments. In the early '90s he began to follow up on a solo career, performing honkey tonk parallel bars and clubs as often as he could, and honing a powerful, wide-ranging baritone horn voice in the work on. He exhausted several eld on the circuit and finally stirred to Nashville to attempt his chance in the industry; he was quickly sign-language to Capitol by Scott Hendricks, who'd produced the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill, and Alan Jackson.


Adkins issued his debut album, Dreamin' Out Loud, in 1996, and it established him as a rising wizard. The lead individual, "Every Light in the House," went to issue trey; "I Left Something Turned on at Home" hit issue two; and "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing" went all the way to number i. His 1997 follow-up album, Big Time, spawned another Top Five hit in "The Rest of Mine," and "Alone Won't Leave Me Alone" just lost the Top Ten. However, it wasn't quite the commercial human dynamo of Dreamin' Out Loud; neither was its follow-up, 1999's More, which featured just one Top Ten unmarried in the title track. Nonetheless, all trey albums made the country Top Ten.


2001's Chrome brought Adkins into the Top Five of the country album charts for the first clock time, as the Top Ten lead individual, "I'm Tryin'," proved to be his biggest hit since "The Rest of Mine." In July of that class, Adkins was arrested for drunk driving and later pled guilty. The form of address track of Chrome belatedly climbed into the Top Ten in early 2003. Capitol released Superlative Hits Collection, Vol. 1 in July of 2003 and its fellow traveller DVD, Video Hits, in February 2004 with Adkins's fifth studio album, the December 2003 release Comin' on Strong, sandwiched in between. In 2005, Adkins had a major strike with "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" from his album Songs About Me. The album Life-threatening Man was released a class later.
