Trace Adkins' X (Ten) will give fans anything and everything they have always loved about his music over the past 12 years, including the gospel-and bluegrass-sired song and his current hit single Muddy Water.

In addition, on X there are songs like Sweet, which turns a common national expression into a tight and particularised country tune, and I Can't Out Run You, a vocal tour de force about the weight of romantic obsession in which Adkins records a haunting country soul song, in 2008, Sinatra-style.

These songs show how both sides of Adkins' music work with a great stylistic co-cooperation: Hillbilly Rich wouldn't be nearly as good without the rooted center of Adkins' steady, nuanced baritone, and Sometimes a Man Takes a Drink could be tradition merely without his ability to infuse heritage styles with modern tensions and vibes.
