Martina McBride/Trace Adkins make a perfect pair

Martina McBride, who’s currently touring with Trace Adkins on the “Shine All Night” tour, explained the odd pairing: “He sings about badonkadonks. And I have a badonkadonk,” she told fans in Oakland, CA.

It turns out the pairing was more than just that -Adkins and McBride bring varying country sounds, and varying fans.

Adkins entertains the fans with rousing versions of “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and “You’re Gonna Miss This” and features McBride floating above the audience in a moon structure to perform “Concrete Angel.”

Get your Martina McBride tickets while you still can! The pair are only on the road into April, with a few select rescheduled dates beyond that.

Martina McBride’s new album has a name!

Martina McBride’s upcoming album, “Shine,” is scheduled for release on March 24! Here’s what martina has to say about the upcoming album in her online journal:

Turned the album in to RCA on Thursday! I’m so excited. We have an album cover and a name. It’s going to be called “Shine”. I love the name. It’s such a strong, powerful word. There are two songs on the record where “shine” is used…”Ride” and another song called “I Just Call You Mine.” It’s also kind of a reference to the song “Sunny Side Up.” AND it feels like what I am going to do with this record….shine! So, now we just have to wait until March 24th!
