Scott Brown - country music fan?

Sunday, January 31, 2010 – During Trace Adkins' set before packed DCU Center in Worcester, Mass., Saturday night, the lanky country singer introduced a celebrity known slightly better for non-country reasons - incoming U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.

Brown, dressed in a shirt and tie, stood up & waved to the crowd drawing cheers after the announcement that he was in the house. Later, Adkins said that he hoped no one booed when he announced Brown's presence, threatening to "kick their ass" if they had.

Brown, who upset State Attorney General Martha Coakley almost two weeks ago to replace the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, attended the concert with his daughter, Ayla. She was on American Idol in season four and just released an EP. She also is a senior at Boston College where she is a member of the women's basketball team.

Brown did not know Adkins prior to the concert, according to his wife, Gail Huff. She said Sunday at Boston College that Adkins invited her husband to the show. She also described herself as the big country music fan in the family, not her husband. Ayla also has sung country music, but pop is her forte, according to her mother.

Adkins may sing at Brown's induction party on Feb. 11 according to Huff, although she said that was not certain.

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 ...
CD review - Something's Going On 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 ...
CD review - Live Country DVD "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 ...
