Nashville star Trace Adkins returns with his 10th album in a dozen years, a no-nonsense collection of traditional-style country tunes with subtle rock and R&B influences. The gospel-tinged first single, "Muddy Water," and the old-fashioned country tearjerker "Sometimes A Man Takes A Drink" are particular highlights, as are the funky, R&B-flavored "Better Than I Thought I`d Be" and the sly "Marry For Money" and "Hillbilly Rich." Adkins adds to the patriotic tradition of country music with the heartfelt "Till The Last Shot`s Fired," which also features the West Point Cadet Choir. Well into his second decade as a hitmaker, X shows Trace Adkins maintaining his signature sound without falling into the danger of retreads or self-imitation.
