Trace Adkins' new album, Cowboy's Back in Town, will be released on Aug. 17, one week earlier than previously announced. It's his first album for Show Dog-Universal Music, the label headed by Toby Keith and producer Mark Wright. Adkins co-wrote the title track with Jeff Bates and Kenny Beard. In addition, Beard co-produced the 11-track album with Michael Knox, best known for producing Jason Aldean. Trailer Choir, Adkins' labelmates, appear on "Don't Mind if I Don't." A deluxe package will also be available on Aug. 17 with four additional tracks, including "Hillbilly Bone," his collaboration with Blake Shelton. Adkins will tour with Keith through September.
