Trace Adkins
Tracy Darrell "Trace" Adkins was born Jan.
13, 1962, in Springhill, La. He first began performing with a gospel quartet
while still attending high school in the nearby town of Sarepta. He continued
to sing gospel throughout his years at Louisiana Tech University, where
he studied petroleum technology. After working on an oil rig for a few
years after leaving school, he embarked on what he calls his "true
musical education" -- playing one honky-tonk after another. While
singing at Tillie's & Lucy's Pub in Nashville, Adkins was spotted
by a Capitol Records executive and was signed to the label.
His early singles steadily climbed the charts, and 1997's "(This
Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing" became his first No. 1 hit. After enduring
a label shake-up at Capitol in the late 1990s, the 6-foot-6, 250-pound
Adkins resurfaced with the Top 10 hits "More" in 2000, "I'm
Tryin'" in 2001 and "Chrome" in 2003.
He released his Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 in 2003, a few months before being
inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. He also checked himself into a rehabilitation
center for a drinking problem, and concluded the year by releasing the
studio album Comin' On Strong.
