Adkins goes live with "Lit"
"Lit" will become available at iTunes and all other digital retailers and streaming partners on Friday.
The single finds Adkins counting down the things that get him fired up. Granny's back (this time she's drunk, playin' Bingo), Grandpa's fishin' with dynamite, there's a little "Sunday morning brimstone from a Pentecostal pastor," and, "Keith Richards stoned on Rock 'n Roll tearin' up that Telecaster." Of course, there's also a girl: "slide on over, move a little closer with that four-alarm, fire-engine-red on your lips. So hot, you got me smokin', girl you got it goin' on, you're the only one with the kiss that gets me lit."
"Lit" was written by Mickey Jack Cones, Monty Criswell and Derek George. It follows "Jesus and Jones," as the second single by Adkins on Wheelhouse Records (BBR Music Group). Both singles will be on Adkins' forthcoming album release with details to be announced.

CD reviews for Trace Adkins
Anybody with staying power in the modern country music landscape must have found a four-leaf clover and a niche. Trace Adkins hearkens back to a time when country stars included more Alpha males. He's got a baritone as deep as an oil well and stands eye-to-eye with quite a few pro basketball players. It's enough presence to show up on screen, and Adkins has had more than one foray into film over the 30-plus years he's been singing for his supper.
Now approaching 60, you wonder if ...
Trace Adkins' wonderful low singing voice can be a little deceptive because he could easily sing utter crap and still somehow sound great. It's why the critical ear must pay close attention to specifically what he's saying in his songs whenever evaluating his work. Adkins doesn't write his own songs, so he's entirely dependent upon stellar writers. Thankfully, "Something's Going On" is a better than average collection of songs, especially good for Adkins, as ...
"Live Country" is a concert film featuring Trace Adkins performing his biggest hits at The Paramount in Huntington, N.Y. Anticipation was high for this one because Adkins, along with Josh Turner, is one of our very best low-voiced singers. Perhaps poor audio quality is to blame, but Adkins' singing isn't nearly as powerful in this live setting as it is on CD.
From the cheesy stage props to the casually dressed backing singers (one even has a headband that leaves her looking ...
