Trace Takes "Personal Stand" in New Book

8/1/2007 Stephen L. Betts Singer Trace Adkins can now add author to his resume. On October 23, he'll release A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions of a Freethinking Roughneck, offering his views on everything from the environment to immigration to the war on terror. "This book has been knocking around in my head for a while now," says Trace. "It's not exactly a memoir, but more of a look at the state of the country as I've seen it through the lens of my admittedly colorful life." The book will be published by Villard, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group.
