The album is vintage Trace Adkins, with songs ranging from those celebrating love, like the tender "Still Love You," to those showcasing the rowdy side of country living, like the hilarious "Hold My Beer." Adkins is at the top of his game vocally, and the album shows him re-emerging as a top-flight songwriter, as he penned the title track, "Cowboy’s Back In Town," with friends Jeff Bates and Kenny Beard, who co-produced along with Michael Knox (Jason Aldean). He is joined by special guests Trailer Choir, whose cool-as-a-breeze vocals add the perfect touch to "Don’t Mind If I Don’t," a song celebrating love as the perfect excuse to take it easy.
In addition to the traditional CD release, Cowboy’s Back In Town is being released in a deluxe version featuring four additional tracks, offering Adkins’ fans the opportunity to dig even deeper into his music.
The project’s first single splits the difference between love and humor, with Adkins’ classic tongue-in-cheek delivery on a song about what may or may not be a country boy’s romantic declaration.
Adkins’ debut on Show Dog – Universal grew out of his friendship with Toby and their highly successful collaboration on 2009’s "America’s Toughest Tour." Both were enthusiastic about the chance to work together.
"There’s an excitement surrounding this whole new chapter in our lives," says Adkins, "and it’s reflected in the work I’ve done on this record. The musicians I brought together are long-time friends, and it doesn’t get much better than that. I had a great time making it, I’m in a great spot creatively, and I think all that shows in the way it sounds."
Adkins has sold more than 10 million records, scored three #1 hits and 14 Top Tens, earned four Grammy nominations, and given us classics including "You’re Gonna Miss This," "This Ain’t No Thinkin’ Thing," "Honky-Tonk Badonkadonk" and "Ladies Love Country Boys," to name a few.
In addition to headlining his own concerts, Adkins and Toby Keith are pairing up once again for the high-powered American Ride Tour that continues through September. For a complete listing of all Trace Adkins concert dates, visit www.traceadkins.com.

Love Trace Thanks
It’s hard to choose just one song they are all so good. If I have to choose one it would have to be “Still Love You” a very well written song.
“You’re Gonna Miss This” … as I watch my daughters grow up I wish they would just enjoy the moments more and be less concerned with what others expect them to do, as though they needed to punch in and out on a time clock that others set for them.
I love the song I’m Trying, because it so describes my life.
Trace is the best and it’s hard to chose a song that my favorite. I love them all !
“The Rest of Mine” has always been Trace’s song that is the closest to my heart. After 40 years of marriage, my husband loves to dance with me when it is played.
Keep on rocking Trace, don’t change a thing, you are great, saw you 4 time and loved it, at York Fair twice, Hershey’s Giant center where I got to get a photo with you & in Reading Pa. Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait to hear the New Trace Adkins Deluxe Edt.. keep makin’ great music..
I can’t wait to hear the new deluxe edt.. Keep on makin’ sweet music…
