Trace Adkins | Club Random with Bill Maher

[@ShadieJoan-sk4cr]

Trace Adkins is a normal down to earth kind of guy. ❤

[@harshca1]

I know very little about Trace Adkins and haven't listened to his music, but what a totally cool dude. A tremendously down to earth and kind person.

[@brp7856]

i know nothing about him, and i havent listened to country music since the year ~2000... but i just became a fan. what a cool dude

[@sdm12342002]

Same. Trace talking about working on an oil rig was fascinating. I just love the varied guests Bill has on his show and how much enjoyment he gets from talking to them.

[@gebremenfeskidus9567]

Same here!

[@quiltinmom3611]

Listen to his music, you’ll love it!

[@MaggieMoore-u3c]

Graduated with Tracy 1 thru 12. He hasn't changed. His dad was a nice guy. Remember all this..😊

Except his name apparently

Trace Adkins, as American as they come...love the honesty , ,hard working,and insight into his world...... thanks..

[@emiliodaddio8517]

@@hillorisartin6129 His given name: Tracy Darrell Adkins[1] (born January 13, 1962)[2] is an American country music singer and actor.

[@toodlescae]

Such a big Trace Adkins fan. Have been ever since I first heard him when he hit the music scene and his voice made my spine melt. Yo Bill. Elvis still holds the Guiness Book of Records record for most records (singles & albums) ever sold by a solo artist and just about everyone in the world knows the name Elvis. even if they have never heard his music they know *Who* he is.

[@ShadieJoan-sk4cr]

Elvis is still King. Charlie Chaplain was a nothing. Elvis lives in everyone's heart.

[@postatility9703]

It seems that when Bill has a very laid-back guest who doesn't speak in a rush,and Trace fits that description to a t,Bill's interrupting is down to a minimum. This made for a really pleasant, worthwhile conversation. 😊

[@nataliedigiovanni4863]

yes bill's interruptions and arrogance are getting on my nerves these days. he's aging himself.

[@miggans21012]

Bill getting pretty here. Trace had to start jumping his butt.

[@lisalivingston6473]

I love Trace Adkins' deep soothing voice, but I really appreciate what he has to say about the value of working hard and having a strong work ethic. I also admire that he didn't get sucked into a long, drawn-out conversation about the Civil War and confederacy which could have set him up for some unnecessary criticism by some people. His live and let live attitude should be something to be emulated in our divisive social and political climates.

[@RitaMcCaffrey]

We saw him in Charlotte at a small venue and it was great! His voice is beautiful and he has a great sense of humor - that was in 2014 I think. Love him!

[@lynneaberr1878]

I cracked up on this talk about Elvis, felt sad you never got to see a show. The one I saw was in Cleveland, Ohio, probably the last tour. My older sister had been an Elvis fan since the beginning. I remember calling her and telling her to drop everything she was doing. One of our oarty was sick. That extra ticket was for her. Free. Her hubby watched the kids. She was 9 years older than me; my younger sister was similarly spaced. I'm 76 now and looking forward to the Marietta, Ohio, show with my niece. That kind of rock held us kids together, but stations back then played everything on the same station: rock, country, instrumental. BTW, 1st podcast for me, new subscriber. I really enjoyed the sit down and shoot the shit format. Thanks.

[@lynneaberr1878]

Marietta show (Trace) That kind of rock (Elvis)

[@lynneaberr1878]

@TraceAdkins-c Not sure. I stumbled back into country a few years ago.

[@wk2761]

We met Trace in a restaurant a few years back. He's the real deal. There is no mistaking that deep soothing voice! We could hear him all the way across the restaurant. Love his music!

[@jeffbeck8993]

Grandma who's smoked for 60 years, would have the same deep, soothing voice.

[@MaggieMoore-u3c]

You don't know the real deal you need to go back to bed and stop dreaming and you have a lot of nerve going by his last name but it is funny he's never talks about you

[@S.J.L]

"Every Light In the House is On" got me through something as a kid. Thanks Trace.

[@actownsend7288]

Me too!!! I told this story to my wife who thought me running up to a Kmart to push on the video clip screen for that song.

[@HawkqOjOp]

This is one time the algorithm did good and tossed a Trace video my way soon as I log in. Man, what a treat this chit chat was with hivel swips and Trace lol. We're exactly the same age, parents same age, high school same, fav high school songs same, but I didn't really catch the Trace wave until the lock down, though he got my attention during apprentice. Now I've seen him twice live in last 3 years, once in the boonies and once this past summer in the rain near home. Rain never felt so good!! I was front center stage holding the raincoat over my head and damned if caught Trace looking me right the eye while singing and I chickened out and look away all shy and stuff ha ha. I did push the girl aside who tried to steal my place with her birdies hanging out because gosh dang it, I earned that spot haha. His shows and his band are so good, so seasoned and so relaxed. You can tell he's not in a hurry that gives him longevity. What he said about his voice is the first thing I noticed - the awesome matured tone in his voice and some of the vocal skills he pulls. You'll hear "damnnnnn" from the men when he tests the mic with those low notes. I hope he keeps having fun as long as he can. If you haven't seen him live, the only way I describe the aura at his shows is 'the heart of America' - truly patriotic, down to earth and just about real, every day life. So many relate to that, that you'll find yourself high on America when you leave the show. Hence the name of the last tour. Keep up the interesting and relatable format, Bill, really enjoyed this! p.s. Trace, I got see Elvis in May of 77!! With my parents, no doubt, but it was fun to sleep in the car with mom in the parking lot to get the tickets, and then come back to do the same an hour later after the cop sent us home (and lie a little bit to dad) LOL!

[@Gail-r4f]

Nice interview I love Trace he's a great guy I love his music and movies I will always love him and everything about him he's the best

[@MarlonMarlon-z1s]

Trace has so many good stories to tell. I love his soulful songs and his deep voice, a big fan from Germany

[@SimFanatic]

I can't tell you how many times I rewatched this part dying laughing. Trace saying, "These chairs make me feel like I'm squatting to shit in the woods". Bill, "Well, I wanted to make you feel at home." LMFAO!! 8:54

[@cory7730]

Hilarious

[@pdg61met]

Or "We'll keep you alive when the world comes to an end" Basically saying Bill couldn't handle the survival mode. LOL

[@actownsend7288]

I’m sitting in leather chats while waiting for my car to be fixed. Trace Adkins great singer and great American!!!

[@oompa765]

Thank you for coming to Mayfield after the tornado Trace. It meant a lot, and probably more than you will ever know

[@parkermccollum-z8r]

His voice is rich and gives me chills.

[@benwu7980]

First time I've seen Trace without his hat on. Love his pithy humour. Made for one of the best episodes.

[@bobkattner9226]

Looks totally different.

[@pakitorodriguez119]

Being a European and not the biggest fan of country music, I never heard of this bloke before but he’s got awesome down to earth vibes. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers

[@toodlescae]

You should check out his songs Arlington and Til The Last Shot's Fired. They're about soldiers and will rip your heart to pieces.

[@luxlamf]

Once again this “Show” introduces me to someone I had little knowledge of and this time I go away better for it. Great stuff.

[@frankskyle1]

A highlight for me was Trace explaining what offshore drilling was like, since I've been asked that question many times. Most people want to know what the food is like (fwiw, the food varies greatly from rig to rig, depending on the cooks and the food budget).

[@lwelk273]

Trace - love the music, love the talent, and appreciate the man you are. Thank you for the work you due for our Vets. As one, it is greatly appreciated. Bill - thank you for reaching out and getting this one done. Very cool on this long holiday weekend.

[@BB-po6jv]

The DiStefano Ad was hilarious 😂 i always skip ads, but i listened through on this one haha

[@patrickmcguire7929]

Interesting man Mr. Adkins. Humble, tough, talented. A work ethic is what makes people intriguing. You couldn't BE a "Roughneck" on a rig if you were incapable of tolerating discomfort. This guy has fortitude that many lack, & in a non braggart manner. We could all learn from Trace Adkins.

[@arestus]

Wow......Trace was the first big musician I ever worked for in Grapevine, TX around 2005 something. I've got the date pics and all but.......Trace was super nice. I was the first person he shakes hands with right after he played, Thanking me and Carlos for the great work. After that, the company that paid to see him where all waiting in line LOL.......Awesome memories.

I like your style, “Dude”.

[@weirdo1083]

Roadhouse.

[@jefftheparodyguy5166]

Bill started making the “stuck on an oil rig with 50 guys drilling for 14 days” joke and that look on Trace’s face. If looks could kill.

[@sh1310]

Trace has a great voice for talk radio if he ever tires of music.

[@ShadieJoan-sk4cr]

No one could ever match the tone or deepness of Trace Adkins voice. I would pick Trace though as the absolute heartthrob.

[@kittiekat9707]

Thanks Bill this was hilarious! My favorite line was when Trace said he shoveled snow for 4 days so he could get out to get cigarettes lol!

[@SamathaNLouisiana]

Bill is the type of person who could never understand how someone could actually enjoy manual labor. Ive always enjoyed working with my hands and enjoying intellectual entertainment during my off time.

[@miggans21012]

The only job Bill had before being a comedian was babysitter. 😂

[@Bob9961]

Such an interesting conversation! I'm so grateful Trace discovered his country music vein and gave us so many great ditties!

[@imagemaker3293]

I enjoyed hearing Trace talking about his work on an oil rig.

[@cocomarsh1]

Another banger, I was intro to Trace by from Bills show and the more I hear the more I like this dude!!

[@ravibrewster]

Trace has got some good vibes coming off of him, and that silky voice is gold. Totally enjoyed this one. I like this podcast b/c I get music ideas, Bill got me into Sinatra, and now I will check out Trace.

[@MN-dt2kq]

His bass voice is-Beel. ❤😂. Bill I love this because it isn’t political. Just two people sharing time and conversation and having fun. 🤩

[@annettealrand9736]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@BigSplenda1885]

I love that Bill talks to such a disparate selection of people, he doesn't only limit it to people who are like him or believe exact same politics as him... He finds a way to have something in common with anybody

[@laffytaffy1239]

"These chairs make me feel like I'm squatting to shit in the woods." "I wanted to make you feel at home." Lmao

[@cmb2368]

That was a damn clever line! Trace liked it too.

[@pattybonarrigo1399]

Very quick

[@mikehood5210]

I''ve really enjoyed the prior videos, but man I love this one with Trace. Might be because I'm closer to this one as having been a fan for years and having gone to Louisiana Tech as well. Trace is a total beast. been cool if he would have mentioned that Kix Brooks had gone to Louisiana Tech as well. Go Dawgs!! Thanks for bringing this to us Bill.

[@BethDarden-n4i]

Thank you Trace... your experience with Portland, Maine...is just what it's like being a truck driver..

[@fenxanubis9049]

Amen to Trace, my only vice is the way i always explain it

[@canadianroots7681]

Trace Adkins could read aloud the telephone book (if we still had them), and I'd be mesmerized. But he's honestly interesting and comes off as a genuinely good person. Loved this interview!

[@DRJRchattanooga]

“You just triggered the perpetually persecuted.” That was the best line.

[@NashPotatoesOutdoorShow]

Thanks for another great episode Bill...

[@ExKUKicker]

I was a DJ during my college years (early/mid 80's) at a Midwestern radio station. Country music was still pure then...none of the Pop, R & B, Rap influences...true country. It's all about airtime and money. The producers, today, want to cross demographics chasing the greenbacks. It's sad because the music and the lyrics don't resonate like they once did prior to the mid-90's. Really enjoyed Trace in the movie Old Henry (about Billy the Kid...Henry McCarty)

[@susie4045]

The chair joke, oh Bill.🤣🤣 And being a parent myself…I have to say, the challenges/disappointments are many, the joys are few. May all be worth it, but Bills not to far off 😅

[@reddeserted13]

He did a great show in Rifle, Colorado in 2019. Walked around meeting fans before the show.
