While the term sound-alike easily applies to quite a few singers, Trace Adkins's husky, thoroughly honest baritone is among country's most distinctive and compelling voices. The opening title song of More... sets an optimistic tone that continues with "I'm Gonna Love You Anyway" and "Can I Want Your Love." Contrasting with the jocular Western swing of "All Hat, No Cattle," which pairs Adkins with Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel, is the eloquent, authoritative blue-collar homage "Working Man's Wage," free of the posturing that often undermines similar songs. True, George Jones could work wonders with "The Night He Can't Remember," yet Adkins, a cowriter, more than does it justice. Not that he sidesteps sorrow. The bittersweet "She's Still There" and the painful "Don't Lie" face it head-on. "Every Other Friday at Five" takes an uplifting look at the responsible side of divorced fatherhood. Adkins's ability to navigate the decidedly dicey waters of Nashville while maintaining a rock-ribbed traditional perspective reflects talent for the long haul. --Rich Kienzle

5.0 out of 5 stars BLEW ME AWAY!, November 18, 1999

By	Patricia Pendley ([e-mail]) (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

Unusual, unique, and very,very sexy. I practiculary like the cuts "More" and "Can I Want Your Love?". These two songs have an unusual and sensuous beat reminiscent of middle eastern music which I found bewitching on a country CD. And that coupled with Mr. Adins powerful, deep voice was pure magic. Besides theres not a single cut on this CD I am even tempted to skip over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trace....More....Yup!..Some Damn good sounds from the man!, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

I saw Trace in concert with Brooks and Dunn, last August. Trace stole the show, his performance and vocals were amazing. Once he sang a few cuts from his new Album, I was awaiting the date. Finally it came, and to no surprise it is GOLD! Pick one up, you won't be dissapointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A seasoned and diverse artist. He's getting better every CD!, November 8, 2001

By	"barstoolcowboy" (eCowboy.com) - See all my reviews

On his third CD, Trace delivers a well-balanced set of songs which range from slow to fast and straight country to rock country. There is something on this CD for everybody from serious to fun. The CD starts off rocking with the title cut which is truly one of the best songs. Other songs carrying that classic upbeat "Trace Groove" are Can I Want Your Love and I Can Dig It. There are countless slower and mid-tempo songs that lyrically stand-up on there own touching on issues from handling divorce, Every Other Friday At Five to respect for the working man, Working Man's Wage , which Trace says he did for his father. Add Trace's vocal to the mix and you've got all around solid country music. Of course several deal with love and heartache such as I'm Gonna Love You Anyway, Don't Lie and Everything Takes Me Back which are all excellent songs.

And of course, every cowboy should love All Hat, No Cattle which Trace recorded with Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. He says the song is as much poking fun at himself as it is anyone else. He says even though he doesn't own a ranch that being a cowboy, in his opinion, is an attitude, the way you live your life and a frame of mind.

This is an all around solid CD that I take with me on the road along with Trace's second CD, Big Time. They are the kind of CD's that I know every lyric on them.
