Trace has always been an enigma in my eyes - he has possibly the greatest voice of his generation, but far too often he records material well beneath his considerable talent. The end result is that every Trace Adkins album is a bizarre listening experience - about half the tracks are "Album of the Year" type material, and the rest leave you wondering what he was thinking when he chose to record them. I think when radio inevitably casts him aside, he's going to be the type of artist who makes great legacy records when he's free to make music without commercial considerations. Or that's my dream, at least.

Very inconsistent artist for me. Some tracks are absolutely amazing, among the best songs ever, and other are truly bottom of the barrel piles of crap IMO.
Top 5:
01. Watch The World End
02. You're Gonna Miss This
03. 'Til The Last Shot's Fired
04. Timing Is Everything
05. This Ain't No Love Song (very underrated IMO)
Bottom 5:
01. Brown Chicken Brown Cow
02. Ala-Freakin'-Bama
03. Hot Mama
04. Them Lips (On Mine)
05. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk (y'know, I didn't hate this at first, but my station has absolutely killed it with overplay)

Top 5
1. Every Light In The House (still a classic IMO)
2. The Rest of Mine
3. I Came Here To Live (very good album track from Dangerous Man album)
4. You're Gonna Miss This (no matter how many times I hear it, still a great song. I miss radio from a few years ago )
5. Days Like This (SHOULD have been single after Just Fishin, Million Dollar View was horrible)
6. You Asked Me To (his version of this Waylon song is stunning, even Jessi Colter said she got goosebumps when she heard it)
Bottom 5
1. Honky Tonk Badonadonk
2. Chrome
3. Hot Mama
4. Swing
5. Brown Chicken Brown Cow
I 100% agree with andythedrifter here, Trace is either CMA Song of the Year form...or totally "WTF is going on" form. LOL. His song choices do puzzle me, but I think with some of his personal struggles he has faced in past year, he will come back with a very solid album, regardless of radio play. I to agree he has one of the better voices in recent memory, very distinct

I agree with Markus Meyer that Trace is very inconsistent. Some his material is just great while the rest I just can't stand. On a random note, I was watching a movie the other week ("The Lincoln Lawyer") and had no idea Trace was in it. He played the motorcyclist part well haha. Anyways, I pretty much stopped actively following Trace's new music after "You're Gonna Miss This"; also his vocal political voice steered me even further away from his music (I tend to prefer country artists steer clear of being outspoken about anything overtly political). Top: 1. Don't Lie 2. Help Me Understand 3. I'm Tryin' 4. There's A Girl In Texas 5. You're Gonna Miss This Along with Trace comes some guilty pleasures: "Hot Mama" "Chrome" Bottom: 1. Big Time (this one comes to mind first because it was his first single I disliked) 2. I Got My Game On 3. Swing 4. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk 5. Rough & Ready |

I'm sure I could put others in the bottom but I don't remember most of his hits very well, just that I don't care for a lot of them.
