Country singer Trace Adkins will release his first album for his new label, Show Dog-Universal Music-the label helmed by Toby Keith and producer/songwriter Mark Wright-on August 17. Aptly titled Cowboy's Back in Town, the album is Adkins first after leaving Columbia Nashville, his label home for 15 years, and was co-produced by Adkins with Kenny Beard and Michal Knox, according to The Boot. Toby Keith announced Adkins would be joining the label back in February and Adkins said the switch served as a creative catalyst: "Signing with [Show Dog-Universal] really spurred me creatively and I've already written a couple things that might be on the new album. I've let my songwriting go for awhile, and I'm excited about getting back to that part of my career."
Along with the title track, which Trace Adkins co-write with Kenny Beard and Jeff Bates, Cowboy's Back in Town features tracks like the rowdy "Hold My Beer" and the ballad "Still Love You." The album balances romantic songs like "Break Her Fall" and "A Little Bit of Missing You" with characteristically uproarious tracks like "Brown Chicken Brown Cow," "Ala-Freakin-Bama" and "Whoop a Man's Ass." Adkins also recruited fellow Show Dog-Universal artists Trailer Choir for "Don't Mind If I Don't," which appears on Cowboy's Back in Town. A deluxe version of the album boasting four additional songs like Trace's duet with Blake Shelton, "Hillbilly Bone," will also arrive on August 17 and the first single off Cowboy's Back in Town is "This Ain't No Love Song."
Gushing about his new label and forthcoming release, Adkins told The Boot, "There's an excitement surrounding this whole chapter in our lives and it's reflected in the work I've done on this record. The musicians I brought together are long-time friends, and it doesn't get much better than that. I had a great time making it, and I'm in a great spot creatively, and I think all that shows in the way in sounds."
Although fans can't wait to hear Trace Adkins new music, the singer is still riding the success of "All I Ask For Anymore," which was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song categories back in January. Although Adkins lost out to Keith Urban (for "Sweet Thing") and Taylor Swift (for "White Horse"), respectively, he will likely be back at the Grammys next year.
Trace Adkins and Toby Keith paired up to tour together in 2009, and they are going to do it all over again in 2010. The pair performed at the Fourth of July celebration "Let Freedom Sing" in Nashville and Adkins hit the road with Keith beginning with a July 10 show in Raleigh, North Carolina. Fans can get Trace Adkins tickets online to see the country music duo in cities like Belmont, OJ; Boise, ID; Wheatland, CA; Mountain View, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Clarkston, MI; Atlanta, GA; Tampa, FL and more through late September.
Speaking about why he decided to tour with Toby again, Trace told The Boot, "Touring with Toby last year changed my career. I got to see firsthand that Toby and his organization place a premium on having fun and since that's what I got in this business for in the first place, this feels like the right place to be."
