The optimistically titled GREATEST HITS COLLECTION VOL. 1 encapsulates the first seven years in the career of Trace Adkins, who made a huge splash on the country scene with his 1996 debut. That auspicious album is represented by the hits "(This Ain`t No) Thinkin` Thing," "There`s a Girl in Texas," and "I Left Something Turned on at Home," all of which presented Adkins as the acceptable face of new country, polished enough for `90s Nashville, but with roots enough to give him credibility (he`d even done some time in a gospel group).
Successive albums followed an essentially similar path, mixing ballads and honky-tonkers in equal measure. The title track of 2001`s CHROME strays a bit from the pattern, sounding like a mix of Shania Twain and Steve Miller, but one of the two new, previously unreleased tracks is the brightest indication of Adkins`s future. "Welcome to Hell" is a post-9/11 song that`s miles ahead of Alan Jackson and Toby Keith`s efforts toward that end, replacing breast-beating jingoism and intellectual laziness with a much more subtle, even humorous approach well-served by Adkins`s rich baritone.
