Album Description: Trace Adkins is on fire! The highly anticipated seventh album from multi-platinum Country music recording artist features the hit single 'Songs About Me' and has been Adkins' fastest moving single to date. Capitol. 2005.
Amazon.com: It's no surprise that the best cuts on Songs About Me are produced by Scott Hendricks, the man who gave Trace Adkins his major-label deal and best understands the psyche of a 6-foot-6 Louisianan with a past full of close calls, high emotions, and deep soul searching (getting shot and nearly dying, later going to rehab). Adkins, with his tender-tough, bottom-of-the-riverbed baritone, sings country music because he's lived its eventful story songs. That's something he celebrates in the title song, which deftly lays out the reasons for the genre's popularity, even to folks who wouldn't ordinarily gravitate to the twangy side of the radio dial. Perhaps anyone could make that song a hit, but it takes a singer of far more subtlety to deliver the incredibly well-written (by Jeremy Spillman and Dave Turnbull) "Arlington," a uniquely different type of war song. Elsewhere, Adkins runs the gamut of themes, from the heartfelt ballad "I Learned How to Love from You" to the randy "Baby I'm Home" to the high-octane "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" (produced by Dann Huff). If some of it seems like awfully familiar territory, Adkins elevates it to the art of blue-collar soul. --Alanna Nash

Rating: - Trace's best cd
This cd has great songs. Every one is awesome. He sings the most romantic song titled "Baby I'm Home". Oh, my, I would die if he sang that to me. He is so cool.
Rating: - great cd
This CD shows just how great of an artist Trace Adkins is. Loved every song and would recommend it to any country fan.

What a PROUD military wife you are - oh my ! No it doesn't glorify dying - it pays tribute to those, past and present - that have - and as I said in another comment - if you have ever seen Trace live - which you probably haven't to have said something like this about that song especially - he does that song with all the reverence and respect he has for the soldiers - alive or dead AND he also has a tiny disclaimer about people like you that put him down saying he is trying to make some kind of political statement and if he tried to muster up as much caring as he could possibly try and find in ...

Rating: - Trace Adkins the ladies heart throb
My wife is the biggest Trace fan ever. So I have purchased most of the Cd's that he has published so far. The only ones I don't have are the ones with the same song as her others. But this seller did a good job for me, the product was of good quality and the delivery speed was excellent. I would recommend seller to anyone.
Rating: - Another Winner for Trace!
Trace continues to pour out hit after hit and this album proves that. This is one of my favorite CD's yet by Trace Adkins. I don't know who these people are around here slamming Trace Adkins and country music, but I know they aren't listening to the same Trace Adkins music that I'm listening to. Either that, or they just don't know good music when they hear it. Speak up Trace Fans!
