Trace Adkins’ plans to release his already announced eighth studio album, Game On, have been sidelined because of a special career opportunity. Trace explains, “We were already under some extremely tight deadlines as it was to make the street week. I just was not able to get it all done because, to be honest, a pressing career opportunity came my way that I really wanted to take advantage of. As a result, I simply ran out of time.”
While Trace didn’t specify what the “career opportunity” was, he did say that he will instead release American Man, Greatest Hits Volume II on December 4. The CD will feature three new songs, including his current single “I Got My Game On,” which is currently climbing the country singles charts.
Trace will soon be releasing his first self-authored book, A Personal Stand: Observations & Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck, on November 13.
