One of Nashville’s most storied careers will take another step forward on August 17 as country star Trace Adkins releases the eagerly awaited Cowboy’s Back In Town. The latest CD was originally scheduled to drop on August 24, but us eager fans get a treat by getting the album a week early.
The album is vintage Trace Adkins, with songs ranging from those celebrating love, like the tender “Still Love You,” to those showcasing the rowdy side of country living, like the hilarious “Hold My Beer.” Adkins is at the top of his game vocally, and the album shows him re-emerging as a top-flight songwriter, as he penned the title track, “Cowboy’s Back In Town,” with friends Jeff Bates and Kenny Beard, who co-produced along with Michael Knox (Jason Aldean). He is joined by special guests Trailer Choir, whose cool-as-a-breeze vocals add the perfect touch to “Don’t Mind If I Don’t,” a song celebrating love as the perfect excuse to take it easy.
In addition to the traditional CD release, Cowboy’s Back In Town is being released in a delux version featuring four additional tracks, offering Adkins’ fans the opportunity to dig even deeper into his music. The project’s first single splits the difference between love and humor, with Adkins’ classic tongue-in-cheek delivery on a song about what may or may not be a country boy’s romantic declaration.
Adkins’ debut on Toby Keith’s Show Dog – Universal grew out of his friendship with Toby and their highly successful collaboration on 2009’s “America’s Toughest Tour.” Both were enthusiastic about the chance to work together.
In addition to headlining his own concerts, Adkins and Toby Keith are pairing up once again for the high-powered American Ride Tour continues through September. For a complete listing of all Trace Adkins concert dates, visit www.traceadkins.com.
