Trace Adkins Fans to Get a Double Dose of Hits

Capitol Records is planning one last hurrah with Trace Adkins. The country superstar left the label earlier this year to join forces with Toby Keith's label, Show Dog Universal. But Capitol still has one more project to release on Trace, and a big project at that.

A double-disc compilation of 28 of Trace's biggest hits, titled 'The Definitive Greatest Hits Package: Til The Last Shot's Fired,' will be released this fall. It includes songs spanning Trace's illustrious career, from his debut single in 1996, 'There's a Girl in Texas,' to his final release on the label, 'All I Ask For Anymore.' Also included are Trace's three No.1 hits: 'You're Gonna Miss This,' '(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing' and 'Ladies Love Country Boys,' as well as several of his classic tunes, such as 'Hot Mama,' 'Songs About Me,' 'I'm Tryin,' ''Then They Do,' and his platinum-selling novelty tune, 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.'

The album, which is scheduled for an October 12 release, comes only two months after Trace's debut CD on Show Dog/Universal, 'Cowboy's Back in Town,' which just landed in the No. 1 spot on the country albums charts. And while Trace has no ill feelings towards Capitol Records, he also says he has no regrets about making the switch. "I've always had the freedom I've wanted with making albums, but there's a little bit more that comes with being involved with a label like Show Dog," he tells The Boot. "I appreciate the faith that they've had in me, and I hope that it's proven to be a good decision on both our parts. That's really what I'm hoping for this year."

In addition to hitting the road with good friend and boss, Toby, as part of the American Ride tour, Trace is also spending time in Hollywood, alongside Matthew McConaughey in the upcoming flick, 'The Lincoln Lawyer,' where the 6'6" singer plays the role of a bike gang leader. The character, Trace admits, was an easy one to portray. "I just put on a leather jacket and ride the bike, so it's gonna be fun," he reveals to The Boot. "I'm looking forward to it."
