Trace Adkins Album: “Dangerous Man”
 Description :
Personnel include: Trace Adkins; J.T. Corenflos (guitar, 6-string bass); Pat Buchanan (guitar); Bryan Sutton (acoustic guitar, banjo); Greg Morrow (drums).
<p>Over the course of seven albums, Trace Adkins mined a musical territory between new traditionalism and contemporary commercial country. 2006's DANGEROUS MAN finds him leaning toward the latter part of that equation, with no loss of his down-home, 10-gallon bite. The album's lead-off single, "Swing," is a case in point. Fueled by boogie-rock electric guitar, a thumping backbeat, and sing-along choruses, the tune is glossy and anthemic, owing more to Lynyrd Skynyrd than to Hank Williams.
<p>When not flexing his rock muscles, Adkins shows his skill with emotive, mid-tempo balladry ("Words Get in the Way") designed to fit seamlessly on MTV playlists. But where Adkins's music leaves tradition behind for the mainstream, its country heart beats in the right place: baseball, patriotism, and good-ol'-boy pastimes like drinking, driving, and loving are the themes on hand. Adkins also has a way with an infectious hook, and he carries these beautifully with his resonant baritone. Fans of Adkins, and of contemporary country in general, won't be disappointed with DANGEROUS MAN.

- Trace is MY Dangerous Man
Trace Adkins has set them up and knocked them down once more! Can Trace ever produce any music that sounds bad? His low deep bass voice continues to tickle our ears and the message of the songs he chooses to put together on cd continue to proclaim loud and strong that he loves everything in life from his dog to his woman to his God!
I strongly recommend that everyone has Trace's latest CD in their collection! A big ten-four in my CD player!

- Hello CMT Awards..it's time for Trace
Album after Album, from heartfelt ballads like "Words Get In The Way" to edgey sexual tension filled songs like "Aint' No Woman Like You"..this album has it all.
I got to see Trace last night in concert here in Phoenix and the man sings his music with as more conviction than showmanship. Unlike upcoming stars and so-called country ryalty who we paid double the ticket price for only to be disappointed...sorely!
His honky-tonk roots came through and it is just as much apparent live as on this album. The comments around me were that this artist is for the working man because that is where Trace's roots are..a hard workin' man with a real story to tell.
He is consistant, and I am shocked that CMT does not take more of a look at Trace than they do. He is not another Tim MCGraw, Kenny Chesney or George Straight. This album is evidence that he loves what he does and that is what many love him for.
This CD is a definite asset to your collection. GO OUT & BUY IT!! You might also find his other music and love it just as much!! Especially if you are as tired of kenny, TIm and George as I am!
Happy Listeneing!

- Trace is hot!!!
I absolutely love this album. I think my favorite part is at the end of "Fighting Words" when Trace talks about the First Amendment. I cracked up the first time I heard him say, "Son, the first amendment protects you from the government, not from me!" 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- Well Worth the Wait
This is the BEST CD I have ever heard. Starting with DANGEROUS MAN - it just draws you in and you have to hear the rest of the songs. LADIES LOVE COUNTRY BOYS is fabulous. It is such a real life song. Then the song - I CAME HERE TO LIVE just tears at your heart...And of course SWING is just a really fun song. I could go on and on about all the songs - RIDE is a great driving song- THE STUBBORN ONE could be anyones grandfather. FIGHTIN' WORDS - Love the whole song but I really like the ending. I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING is another real to life song that gives you something to think about. And HIGH - seems to me to be a song to the FANS!! This is an extra special album - IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! |
