Trace Adkins

The 1990s just might be the definitive era of sad country music.

For some, living with chronic illness is simply a fact of life.

Believe it or not, several of these artists were better off afterward.

Blake Shelton and all his "Friends & Heroes" are ready to hit the road again.

She almost convinced the house she's related to ANOTHER country star.

These country stars are very, very vocal about their political beliefs.

They know the heartbreak they sing about.

Alcohol, drugs and infidelity played a role in country music's most volatile marriages, but one of them really takes the cake.

Including the singer who never got justice.

On April 5, 1997, Adkins scored his first No. 1 hit with "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing," from his freshman album, 'Dreamin' Out Loud'.

What a crazy life he's had.

In a sit-down on Bil Maher's 'Club Random' podcast, Adkins says that the 'silly' scandals only propel the superstars' careers.
