What is it about Trace Adkins that makes him a must-have guest on serious talk shows? Is he that compelling to talk to? Glenn Beck must think so because he had him on his talk show Monday night (Feb. 23) to talk about the Oscars, politics and his hit single, "Muddy Water." Beck's show is billed as one that looks at topics "through the lens of his unique libertarian perspective." But it's always the lens of Adkins' perspective I enjoy the most. Adkins' take on the economy went something like, "What we're facing right now is a lot bigger than any one person or one ideology. It's just, it's huge, you know." And as for "Muddy Water," Adkins says, "It's a song not so much about repentance, but about recognition, the fact that I recognize before anybody else does and much more clearly than anybody else does what my faults and my shortcomings are, you know." Then the two guys talk a little more politics using sports analogies. If you like Trace Adkins and some man-to-man problem solving, you'll love this.
