Trace Adkins says he's the man when it comes to recording songs that are a little left-of-center from what most country singers will tackle. "I'm the last home for songwriters when they write a song that is so nasty that nobody else will touch it," Trace tells The Boot. "I'm the one that hears those songs, and I've gotten some real nasty stuff!"
The singer says he started recording those songs a few years ago because he found they enhance his live performances. "I want stuff that helps the energy of the show, the tempo of the show, the mood of the show. Attending a show should be an energetic release for people and so I've started to focus more on songs that I think will give people that, instead of taking them to a more somber place. I'm gonna do a ballad or two in every show, of course. But most of the songs will be uptempo and the audience will be up and moving when I'm singing them."
One of the songs he recorded for his latest project, 'Cowboy's Back in Town,' is 'Brown Chicken, Brown Cow.' The expression is a common imitation of the bass guitar riff that many pornographic movies used in the 1970s (bow chica wow wow). It can also be used when referring to something scandalous or sexual -- although Trace actually encountered a variation of the phrase in a rather unlikely place.
