Album Description
Trace Adkins "X" (TEN) will give fans anything and everything they have always loved about his music over the past 12 years, including the gospel-and bluegrass-sired song and his current hit single "Muddy Water." In addition, there are songs like "Sweet," which turns a common national expression into a tight and particularized country tune, and "I Can't Out Run You," a vocal tour de force about the weight of romantic obsession in which Adkins records a haunting country soul song, in 2008, Sinatra-style. These songs show how both sides of Adkins' music work with a great stylistic co-cooperation: "Hillbilly Rich" wouldn't be nearly as good without the rooted center of Adkins' steady, nuanced baritone, and "Sometimes a Man Takes a Drink" could be tradition merely without his ability to infuse heritage styles with modern tensions and vibes. And the album features as well a song like "Till The Last Shot's Fired," which looks at military history and personal sacrifice, and in which Adkins' vocal is augmented by the rare presence of the West Point Cadet Choir." An energetic tune built around a heavy guitar lick -- Adkins introduces the song as "a little funkabilly" -- called "Better Than I Thought It'd Be" and a thoughtful orchestrated ballad, "All I Ask For Anymore," round out the album.

 LOVE IT!! January 7, 2009
Colleen H. Durrett (Elkins, WV USA)
I love this album. I am a big Trace fan anyway and the man doesn't record a bad song. I really like Muddy Water and since he used to be in a gospel quartet, I hope he does a gospel album some day.
Love this CD December 31, 2008
Virginia T. Schwartz (Ohio)
I saw Trace in concert and he played a few of his new songs and I knew I had to have it. I love it.. I have listened to it over and over. It isn't all slow songs nor is it all upbeat.. I think its a wonderful blend of ballads and great songs to sing along with. My absolute favorite is Muddy Water... it touches my faith and I just can't listen to it enough. It's not the only touching song though... I like when Trace shows his vulnerable side. I totally recommend this !

I have nearly all Trace's cd's and I love them all but IMO this is his absolute stand out best. Usually there are only a few tracks on an album which get cranked up on your stereo (if you are very lucky it might be more), but very rarely there comes an album where each and every song gets cranked up. This album does it. This would be my all time favourite CD of his. In this album he gets to use that marvellously rich voice as an instrument rather than just flat out singing and entertaining. Very very rich notes in all of the ballads and in the more upbeat songs he plays with his voice to perfection,. If I had to choose a top 3 from this album they would have to be All I ask for anymore, Til the last shot's fired (gives me goosebumps), Let's do that again, and Marry for money.... oh and I can't outrun you. Whoops thats 5 but I just can't pick any closer.
An amazing album which is very rarely off my stereo. Thanks Trace and God bless you and yours.
Better all the time! December 25, 2008

Every Trace Adkins CD is good, and they just keep getting better and better. This is the best yet.
Trace does it again! December 16, 2008
D. McCalllum (Southern, CA)
I have been a Trace Adkins fan for the past few years, and I think this new CD reflects more of his personality than ones in the past. It has his ballads, plus the fun stuff that he is also known for, and is a great mix of songs.
