Trace Adkins receives humanitarian award
Adkins said he was worthy of the award because "I've never killed anybody," CMT reported. "I've thought about it. Maybe some of you."
On the serious side, Adkins said, "I do what I can. It's miniscule, it seems. We just try to help out when we see needs. I'm not deserving of this."
Since 2002, Adkins has worked closely with the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to educating others about potentially life-threatening food allergies. Adkins' daughter, Brianna, was diagnosed with severe food allergies when she was nine months old. Adkins became a national spokesperson for FAAN in 2005 and has also served as the organization's national honorary chair of FAAN's Walk for Food Allergy.

CD reviews for Trace Adkins
Anybody with staying power in the modern country music landscape must have found a four-leaf clover and a niche. 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 ...
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 ...
"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 ...
