SUMMARY:Trace Adkins: Somewhere in America Tour
DESCRIPTION:“I’ve got to the point where it’s all up to me now\,” s
 ays Multi-Platinum Country star Trace Adkins\, 25years into a career fille
 d with bold authenticity and chart-topping smashes. “I can do whatever I
  want … and that’s a beautiful place to be.”\n\nIn truth\, he’s be
 en doing that all along\, fusing a booming baritone and commanding stage p
 resence with sounds from all across the Country spectrum–sometimes with 
 a mischievous wink. But on his 13th studio album\, The Way I Wanna Go\, Ad
 kins takes the idea to heart. Since his debut in 1996\, the larger-than-li
 fe star has sold over 11 million albums and charted 20 songs on Billboard
 ’s all genre Hot 100\, while catapulting 15 singles into the Top 100 Bil
 lboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. He’s also racked up two billion stre
 ams and boasts a reputation for fiery live performance–not to mention hi
 s multiple Grammy nominations\, awards from the ACM and CMT\, and a willin
 gness to think outside the box.\n\nNow\, with 25 all-new tracks to celebra
 te the 25th anniversary of his Dreamin’ Out Loud debut\, Adkins brings i
 t all together. Steeped in the cultural melting-pot of his Louisiana up br
 inging\, The Way I Wanna Go finds him leaning in to a lone-wolf spirit\, a
 nd continuing down the road which made him a shapeshifting member of the G
 rand Ole Opry. Produced by Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George and to be re
 leased by Verge Records\, it touches on all aspects of Adkins’ hit-makin
 g career–from profound traditional balladry to clever-Country party anth
 ems. And with a sound that ranges from timeless twang to beat-driven brava
 do\, it brings a who’s who of unpredictable guests along for the ride. A
 ll-star collaborators include Blake Shelton\, Luke Bryan\, Stevie Wonder o
 n harmonica\, Snoop Dogg\, Pitbull\, Keb’ Mo’ and Melissa Etheridge. A
 nd Adkins’ creative craftsmanship is sharper than ever. “I am at the t
 op of my game right now\,” he says with conviction. “I’m better at t
 his than I’ve ever been in my life\, and I like the way my voice sounds 
 better now than 25 years ago.”\n\nSmooth\, rich and dynamic\, that iconi
 c vocal shines on the good-old-days anthem\, “Heartbreak Song\,” and e
 njoys the fruits of labor in the peaceful “Where I Am Today.” Others l
 ike “Careful Girl” showcase Adkins’ rumbling romantic magnetism–ma
 de famous with his first No. 1\, “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing”
 –while “Got It Down” stands tall for those who take life by the horn
 s. Our red-white-and-blue ideals remain intact with “Somewhere In Americ
 a.” And in “Empty Chair\,” Adkins salutes the quiet sacrifice of U.S
 . service members\, tapping the raw emotion that also drove big-picture an
 thems like “You’re Gonna Miss This.”\n\nBut the tunesmith also made 
 his name on irreverent knee-slappers\, carving a good-timing niche with hi
 ts like 2004’s “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk\,” and 2010’s “Hillbilly 
 Bone” (with Blake Shelton). Here\, he revisits the friendship with Shelt
 on on “If I Was a Woman\,” sharing a few laughs with his2021 tour mate
 . He weaves a rom-com worthy plot in “It’s a Good Thing I Don’t Drin
 k\,” while “Where The Country Girls At” combines the party-starting 
 prowess of Luke Bryan and Pitbull. And in what’s sure to be an instant f
 avorite\, “So Do the Neighbors” cranks up the volume with rap legend\,
  SnoopDogg.“I just remember it was almost the same reaction to the first
  time I heard ‘Badonkadonk\,’” Adkins says of the hip-hop honky tonk
 er. “It made me laugh out loud!” Adkins further shares\, “Never in a
  million years would I have imagined that I would collaborate on songs wit
 h Luke Bryan\, Melissa Etheridge\, Snoop Dog\, Keb’ Mo’\, Pitbull\, an
 d Blake Shelton…on one album! I even have a song that Stevie Wonder play
 s harmonica on. So\, to have performances by these iconic superstars\, fro
 m different musical genres\, on my 25th-anniversary album is incredibly hu
 mbling.”\n\nBut it’s “The Way I Wanna Go” which best shows where h
 e’s at\, 25 years into his career and still going strong. Delivered with
  pride and a sense of against-the-odds determination\, Adkins cautions tha
 t he’s not done yet–he’s loving this chapter of life too much to qui
 t. But when he does bow out\, he’ll do it just like he does everything e
 lse. On his own terms. “I love where I’m at\, I really do\,” Adkins 
 says. “I’ve had the perfect career\, and I don’t know where my place
  is gonna be when the history of what I did is written. But 90 percent of 
 the time\, I said what I wanted to say and stuck to my guns\, and did what
  I wanted todo. … And I’m gonna go out the way I wanna go out.”
