I admit to being partial to Trace's acoustic performances of my favorite songs ... okay any song. Last weekend I endured half an hour of offbeat political humor to view an acoustic version of "Marry for Money" on The Spike Feresten Show. It was worth it. Trace connected with the audience and the bluesy beat had the them clapping along. If you missed it, I've added a link below (hint: fast forward to about 33 min.). Tongue in cheek, Trace described the song as a "sensitive piece".Ferensten found Trace's personal life more interesting than the music, describing Trace as the 50 Cent of Country Music while referring to Trace's long list of accidents, scraps, cuts, and beatings. Ferensten and the audience were in awe when Trace confirmed that he had been shot through the heart by his second wife; Ferensten saying that he didn't know you could live after having a hole through your heart and Trace responding "I didn't either".
Three weeks after its debut, Trace's new single "Marry for Money" is steadily climbing the Billboard Charts to #29. But it's biggest climb was in the Radio and Records Country National Airplay, where in one week it went from 37 to 29.
In this economy, I think it's a sure bet that the song will keep on rising. It's a fun song to sing along to, and presents a light hearted answer to the money crunch even if we wouldn't actually follow through with it. Then again, some of us would.
His X album is #18 up from #20 last week among Top Country Albums. It is also climbing steadily on Billboard's Comprehensive Albums peaking this week at #33. The Comprehensive Albums category ranks the biggest selling albums in the United States regardless of the product's age or method of sales.
