Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0094635673128 Label: Capitol Records Nashville Manufacturer: Capitol Records Nashville MPN: 56731 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Capitol Records Nashville Release Date: August 15, 2006 Studio: Capitol Records Nashville Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After a decade of recording, the no-nonsense, deep-voiced Adkins has blossomed recently with riproaring, crowd-pleasing fare like "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk." Similar material turns up this time in the form of "Swing" (will it be Major League Baseball's answer to Hank Williams Jr.'s "All My Rowdy Friends Are Comin' Over Tonight"?) and the sing-along anthems "Ladies Love Country Boys" and "Fightin' Words." Beyond that, Adkins's honest, emotive blue-collar substance emerges on the thoughtful small-town chronicle "I Came Here to Live" and the sensual, contrite "Words Get in the Way." He similarly excels with "Ride," a hard-edged trucker tune; the anti-drug cautionary "High"; and "The Stubborn One," a poignant tale of the lifelong bond between a young man and his dying grandfather. In this day and age, it's a no-brainer that Adkins has to give the masses (and radio) the kinds of anthems they want. But unlike some artists, capable of doing that and not much more, his ability to project honesty, heart, and empathy is undeniable. --Rich Kienzle Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great AlbumIts hard for me to find albums I enjoy all the way and this one fell just a little short. Never the less I really enjoyed the majority of the songs. Rating:  - Dangerously coolTrace Adkin's singles "Songs About Me" and "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" got me started in liking Trace. This entire album is a broad representation of what country music should be: a little rockin! The title track "Dangerous Man" has that rocking attitude that should be in a lot of modern day country music. He also received his first number one sense "This Ain't No Thinking Thing" with the song "Ladies Love Country Boys." The song "Swing" has a bit ackward lyrics, but the vocals and the instruments in ... Read More Rating: - Trace is music's Manliest talent!God Bless Trace Adkins! His is a one-of-a-kind talent. The total package. The common man with an uncommon ability to convey the truth with his voice and his choice of music to showcase it. This is a real man who lives a real life. So relateable. Looking forward to his new December '07 release and his forthcoming book. "Dangerous Man" continues to entertain with a pleasing array of songs. This voice makes me weak and winds me up all at the same time. Trace also happens ...

I understand from friends who do that today's country music isn't really all that country anymore. Maybe that's why I have started to like what I hear... I bought this CD on the strength of one song and it is decidedly the least country sounding of them all. "I Wanna Feel Something" is just good songwriting and Trace does an excellent job making me feel the emotion behind the lyrics. I guess the song strikes a chord with ...

I mean "swing" where did he get the lyrics for that, a bazooka joe gum wrapper, oh wait I don't even think he writes most of his songs, he just picks em up from out of the trash. He is a prime example of whats wrong with country music nowadays. There should be another genre of music for him and all these other people like rascal flatts and toby keith and big and rich called country pop. I keep telling people that if you wanna hear real ...
