Trace Adkins Music
Artist Overview
Part of the second wave of neo-traditionalists, former oil rig worker Trace Adkins found a decent amount of success in the early during the late 1990s. Then troubles with the law and dwindling record sales forced Adkins from the spotlight. The occasional Top 10 country charter kept Adkins on Nashville's radar, but it was 2005's single "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" and its subsequent video that relaunched Adkins and positioned him closer to the "hick-hop" movement exemplified by the likes of Big & Rich and Kid Rock than to popular Nashville hat acts.
