Trace Adkins Switches Labels. Goes to Show Dog-Universal Music.
January 14th, 2010
In a surprise announcement attached to a scheduled press conference about a label merger, we learn that Trace Adkins is moving from Capital Records to Show Dog-Universal Music, the merger of which was the original subject of the gathering!
Trace explained it this way, according to website, All About Country: “While touring together this past summer, Toby Keith and I had some time to get to know each other. Just watching him on stage every night acting like a 12-year-old on Christmas morning, really fired me up, and I said to myself, ‘I want some of that!’ I knew it wasn’t an act, ‘cause Toby ain’t much of an actor.” The room exploded into laughter.
Trace has been with Capitol Records Nashville since the time he got his first record deal. He was signed by then Label President Scott Hendricks.
