UNEXPECTED COLLABORATIONS & NASHVILLE’S FINEST PRODUCERS FEATURED

PRE-SALE AND “FAN TASK” COMPETITION NOW LIVE – GRAND PRIZES ARE TRIP TO NBC’S ALL-STAR CELEBRITY APPRENTICE® LIVE FINALE OR CARIBBEAN CRUISE

(Nashville, TN – March 4, 2013) - Trace Adkins is feeling the love on his 11th studio album, Love Will..., and he has confirmed that it will be released this Spring on Show Dog-Universal Music. The collection of sexy grooves, heart-wrenching ballads and up-tempo anthems about the world’s greatest emotion are worthy additions to Adkins’ long list of career hits. Starting today, fans can pre-order the album on www.TraceAdkins.com.

Like any labor of love, this album benefitted from relationships built over time and based on respect. The impressive list of producers who helped these songs stand up to Trace’s rich baritone include Tony Brown, Mark Wright, Frank Rogers, Kenny Beard and Mickey Cones. Additionally, several unexpected guests (to be announced) will appear, since love is nothing if not a collaboration.

Trace is a man of deep integrity with a deeply irreverent sense of humor. He’s made a career keeping fans on their toes, making them laugh (“Honky Tonk Badonkadonk), making their hearts swell (“Til The Last Shot’s Fired”), and making them weep (“You’re Gonna Miss This”, “Every Light In The House”).

“Hold on one second!” says Trace. “This is an album of love songs but in my book, ‘Hot Mama’ and ‘Badonkadonk’ are love songs! So don’t start thinking these are all ‘I’ll love you til the end of time’ ballads…but yeah, we’ve got those too.”

As Trace points out, the variety on Love Will…is layered. The album title itself is an open-ended question - love will build a bridge? love will move mountains? love will tear us apart? Any Country song can tell you that all of the above are true.
