Trace Adkins Comin On Strong Contemporary Country Music CD Review

I can describe the latest release from Contemporary Country sensation Trace Adkins for you with just one word… Outstanding!

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Trace Adkins’s most impressive releases ever.

Overall Comin On Strong is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Contemporary Country collection. Truly an outstanding Contemporary Country CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Then Came The Night, track 8 - Then I Wake Up, and track 4 - I'd Sure Hate To Break Down Here

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6 - One Of Those Nights. Good stuff!
