Trace Is Back At It

UPDATE: According to his website, Trace is back at work and is promoting his X album with television appearances. It says ... “On January 21, he kicks-off 2009 with a special appearance on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he’ll perform his new single, “Marry For Money.” He also makes an appearance on “TalkShow with Spike Feresten, the new Saturday late night talk show on Fox returning for its second season in a new one-hour format. Trace’s segment airs January 24.”  By the way, his people have confirmed that "Marry For Money" will be his next single and will be released January 12th.

Some describe Trace as a singer, songwriter and actor, while I read in one review of the X album, that Trace was a nonsongwriter, which I am pretty sure is not actually a word.  From the limited research I have done, I found six songs written and recorded by Trace. Four came from his early albums, one re-released on the soundtrack for “The Trailer Park of Terror” and the last is the theme song to a reality television show.  Trace is an excellent wordsmith, yet these days is so sought after as an entertainer that he doesn't seem to have time to write.  Luckily, there are droves of songwriters in Nashville writing songs just for him.

Below is a list songs written and recorded by Trace.
