Album Review
The Definitive Greatest Hits: Til the Last Shot’s Fired is a 28-track double-disc set that contains almost every one of Trace Adkins' charting country singles for Capitol Nashville between 1996 and 2009. The only single missing is 2000’s “I’m Gonna Love You Anyway,” a tune that climbed no higher than 36 on the Billboard charts, so it’s not missed, particularly when the rest of Til the Last Shot’s Fired serves up all the other big songs — “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” “I Left Something Turned on at Home,” “The Rest of Mine,” “I’m Tryin’,” “Songs About Me,” “Then They Do,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” and “You’re Gonna Miss This” among them — and rounds up a few choice album tracks to make for an overview of his peak that is indeed definitive.
