Chanteur Country US né Tracy Darrell Adkins, le 13
Juin 1962 ŕ Sarepta
(Louisiane).
Trace
Adkins helped keep country's traditionalist flame burning during the crossover-happy
late '90s, mixing classic honky tonk with elements of gospel, blues, and rock &
roll. Adkins was born in the small Louisiana town of Sarepta in 1962 and took up
the guitar at an early age; he went on to study music at Louisiana Tech, where
he also played football and worked on an offshore oil rig after graduating. His
finger was severed in an accident while on the job, and once several years had
passed, he returned to music with the gospel quartet the New Commitments. In the
early '90s he began to pursue a solo career, playing honky tonk bars and clubs
as often as he could, and honing a powerful, wide-ranging baritone voice in the
process. He spent several years on the circuit and finally moved to Nashville to
try his luck in the industry; he was quickly signed to Capitol by Scott
Hendricks, who had 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 star. The lead single, "Every Light in the House," went to
number three; "I Left Something Turned on at Home" hit number two; and "(This
Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing" went all the way to number one. His 1997 follow-up
album, Big Time, spawned another Top Five hit in "The Rest of Mine," and "Lonely
Won't Leave Me Alone" just missed the Top Ten. However, it wasn't quite the
commercial powerhouse of Dreamin' Out Loud; neither was its follow-up, 1999's
More, which featured just one Top Ten single in the title track. Nonetheless,
all three albums made the country Top Ten.
Released in 2001, Chrome brought Adkins into the Top Five of the country album
charts for the first time, as the Top Ten lead single "I'm Tryin'" proved to be
his biggest hit since "The Rest of Mine." In July of that year, Adkins was
arrested for drunk driving and later pled guilty. The title track of Chrome
belatedly climbed into the Top Ten in early 2003. Capitol released Greatest Hits
Collection, Vol. 1 in July of 2003 and its companion DVD, Video Hits, in
February 2004 with Adkins' fifth studio album, the December 2003 release Comin'
on Strong, sandwiched in between. In 2005, Adkins had a major hit with "Honky
Tonk Badonkadonk" from his album Songs About Me. The album Dangerous Man was
released a year later. Live in Concert appeared in 2007 as part of the Big Band
Concert CD series. X (Ten) was issued in 2008. After the album was released,
Adkins left Capitol and signed with
Toby Keith's Show Dog imprint
distributed by Universal. In May of 2010 he debuted his first single for the
label, "This Ain't No Love Song." The album Cowboy's Back in Town was released
in August of that year. Adkins saw some chart action from both the album and
single; he supported them with an extended tour. While flying to a concert in
Alaska on June 4, 2011, Adkins' home in Brentwood, Tennessee caught fire and
burned to the ground. Though his wife, daughters, and a babysitter were at home
during the catastrophe, no one was hurt. The title track of his 2011 album,
Proud to Be Here, was written by Chris Wallin, Aaron Barker, and Ira Dean with
Adkins in mind. The album was preceeded by the single "Gone Fishin'," which
peaked at six on the Billboard country charts. Proud to Be Here wound up
debuting at three on the Billboard 2003 but only generated one other charting
single, "Million Dollar View," which scraped the country charts at 38. Two years
later, Adkins returned with Love Will..., an album that refashioned the singer
as a romantic crooner. It was released in May of 2013, debuting at 14 on the
Billboard Top 200. Despite this high initial position, the first single "Watch
the World End" didn't become a hit and neither did the album itself. In
September, Showdog and Adkins announced that they were parting ways. A month
later, Adkins released the Christmas album The King's Gift on Caliburn Records.
Adkins signed with the Broken Bow subsidiary Wheelhouse in 2015, releasing the
single "Jesus and Jones" in early 2016. He continued to work on his debut for
the label throughout 2016, releasing the single "Lit" in the summer. The album,
titled Watered Down, appeared in March 2017. In 2021, Adkins celebrated the
25th anniversary of the release of his first album with a streaming virtual
concert event, Trace 25: Still Dreamin' Out Loud, where he shared stories about
his life in music and played a number of his best-known songs. Nine songs from
the show would be released as a digital album by Universal. The same year, Adkins brought
out a double album of fresh material, The Way I Wanna Go, which featured guest
appearances from Luke Bryan, Blake
Shelton, Melissa Etheridge, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, and Pitbull.
