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 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!

Got my Dangerous Man yesterday and Trace has definately showed a new and dangerous side of himself on this one!!!!! Dangerous Man, Ladies Love Country Boys and fighting Words are my Favorite rockin songs!!! The Stubborn One is my favorite tear jerker.....Do not think there is a bad song on this CD.....Again Mr. Adkins you sure know how to pick your songs!!!! LOVE IT!!!!! 10 STARS!!!!!!

I caught part of the video for "Girls Love Country Boys". This is so bad over the top it's a like a Weird Al Yankovic video with beatiful women thrown in to get people's attention. I'm thinking Willie changes the station when this comes on.

Album after Album, from heartfelt ballads like "Words Get In The Way" to edgey sexual tension filled songs like "Aint' No Woman Like You"..this album has it all.

I got to see Trace last night in concert here in Phoenix and the man sings his music with as more conviction than showmanship. Unlike upcoming stars and so-called country ryalty who we paid double the ticket price for only to be disappointed...sorely!

His honky-tonk roots came through and it is just as much apparent live as on this album. The comments around me were that this artist is for the working man because that is where Trace's roots are..a hard workin' man with a real story to tell.

He is consistant, and I am shocked that CMT does not take more of a look at Trace than they do. He is not another Tim MCGraw, Kenny Chesney or George Straight. This album is evidence that he loves what he does and that is what many love him for.

This CD is a definite asset to your collection. GO OUT & BUY IT!! You might also find his other music and love it just as much!! Especially if you are as tired of kenny, TIm and George as I am!

Happy Listeneing!
