With its potent backdrop of blazing guitar work, battlefield snare rolls, and stately piano lines, the deeply felt track centers on a reverent outpouring of gratitude for the people who formed the backbone of America.

With its heartfelt message of unshakable perseverance, “American Made” is a fitting reflection of the towering career Adkins launched with Dreamin’ Out Loud. Soon after its June 1996 release, the path-forging LP shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart while cracking the Top 10 on Top Country Albums. Featuring watershed hits like his No. 1 smash “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and “Every Light In The House” (a Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs), Dreamin’ Out Loud swiftly cemented Adkins’ status as one of Country music’s most formidable voices.Back in January, Adkins kicked off the Trace Adkins 30th Anniversary Tour — a major U.S. headline trek quickly extended due to fast-selling dates and massive demand from fans. With highlights so far including a two-night stand at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium in May, the full-throttle tour continues next month at the iconic Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY, on July 22.
