Trace Adkins` imposing stature, baritone voice, and electrifying live shows set him apart from other "hat acts," but with his third album, MORE, its Adkins` choice of material that truly puts him head and shoulders above the rest. MORE is a fine collection of mature, pure country songs, each sung with a depth of emotion that suggests Adkins has lived every one of these lines.
In the powerful "Don`t Lie," he`s the man begging his wife not to sugarcoat the fact that she`s leaving him for someone else. In "Every Other Friday at Five," he`s the divorced father, dying inside because he doesn`t see his kids enough. And in "The Night He Can`t Remember," he`s the reformed alcoholic whose final fall off the wagon cost him his relationship. Adkins lightens up on a few tracks--"I Can Dig It" is a sharp, funny two-stepper, while "All Hat & No Cattle" is a Western swingin` put-down of urban cowboys--but MORE`s strength is the sad songs. Don`t miss "She`s Still There," a heart-wrenching track whose subject matter is so unique, it`ll take you a few listenings to fully digest its emotional impact. Message to Mr. Adkins: MORE, please.
