After a decade of recording, the no-nonsense, deep-voiced Adkins has blossomed recently with riproaring, crowd-pleasing fare like "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk." Similar material turns up this time in the form of "Swing" (will it be Major League Baseball's answer to Hank Williams Jr.'s "All My Rowdy Friends Are Comin' Over Tonight"?) and the sing-along anthems "Ladies Love Country Boys" and "Fightin' Words." Beyond that, Adkins's honest, emotive blue-collar substance emerges on the thoughtful small-town chronicle "I Came Here to Live" and the sensual, contrite "Words Get in the Way." He similarly excels with "Ride," a hard-edged trucker tune; the anti-drug cautionary "High"; and "The Stubborn One," a poignant tale of the lifelong bond between a young man and his dying grandfather. In this day and age, it's a no-brainer that Adkins has to give the masses (and radio) the kinds of anthems they want. But unlike some artists, capable of doing that and not much more, his ability to project honesty, heart, and empathy is undeniable. --Rich Kienzle

Customer Reviews

Yet another strong effort from one of country's best
A Trace Adkins CD can't be any less than enjoyable; after all, the man has one of the most distinctive baritones ever to grace country music. He has a knack for taking a song and living it; for conveying the appropriate emotions, be it sorrow, regret, love, contentment, or something a bit raunchier.

Lately, Adkins has departed from his old traditional stance, and made music that--though still country--has a decidedly more rock edge. DANGEROUS MAN is a perfect example of southern rock and country music blending together into one simple sound. Electric guitars screaming over lyrics about southern women; a father's love for his sick son conveyed amidst subtle melodies; it's all contemporary country rock at its best. The only slacker here is the remix of "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk;" the song is certainly catchy, but this pop/funk remix feels out of place...maybe in a bar or music video (where it was originally featured), but not on an album of country rock music. Besides, haven't we heard the tune enough? Big hit though it was, it falls far short of Adkins's normal standards.

Still, DANGEROUS MAN is a great Trace Adkins album. A lil' country, a lil' rock 'n roll...just great music. Heart, attitude, compassion, the hat...Adkins is a man's man, but he can still melt a woman's heart, and that's probably all that matters. He is a true country crooner for the modern age. Often overlooked, he is and will always be a fan favorite--simply because he knows what his fans want, and that is good country music with an edge.

Trace is MY Dangerous Man
Trace Adkins has set them up and knocked them down once more! Can Trace ever produce any music that sounds bad? His low deep bass voice continues to tickle our ears and the message of the songs he chooses to put together on cd continue to proclaim loud and strong that he loves everything in life from his dog to his woman to his God!

I strongly recommend that everyone has Trace's latest CD in their collection! A big ten-four in my CD player!

Trace is definately a Dangerous MAN!!!
