For Trace Adkins, John Wayne Was the Essence of Being a Cowboy

Trace Adkins may not have spent a lot of time punchin’ doggies out on the range, but in many of the ways that truly count, he’s all cowboy. And, with Cowboy’s Back in Town as the title of his latest CD, it seemed a good time for the big ex-oil field roughneck to chat with Country Kickers about the characteristics of cowboys that Trace truly admires. He’s often said one of his favorite movie quotes is from cowboy Woodrow Call in Lonesome Dove: “I hate rude behavior in a man. I won’t tolerate it.” And a quote from western icon John Wayne also draws praise from Trace in its description of what a cowboy is. Not surprisingly, the quote pretty much describes Trace, too.

    Trace, you live the code of a cowboy and we love and respect you for it. No matter what happens to you in your life, you ‘ll still be able to whoop someones ass if they need it.

    Trace thank you! It’s sooo refreshing to hear a REAL man speak about being a real man. Those things that you quoted are not taught anymore or important in today’s world ,if they were it would be a much better place.Keep passing the message around we ARE listening.Just think if everyone had respect, honor and grit …….WOW!
