I went and played guitar naked in my trailer. When he started playing the bongos naked, I left. I got to spend some time with Matthew, and he's a good old East Texas boy, you know.
#TRACE ADKINS POLITICS MOVIE#
I'm appearing in a new movie that's coming out in March called "The Lincoln Lawyer," with Matthew McConaughey and Marisa Tomei and some other famous people that I can't remember right now.ĬNN: What's Matthew McConaughey like? Is he as kooky as people think he is?Īdkins: I didn't get that from him. We're already into the next album, and we're already back in the studio.ĬNN: You're starring in a new movie, too.Īdkins: "Starring" may be a little heavy. If you put out songs that people just go, "Oh, that's nice," you're not creating any passion.ĬNN: Are you still pretty passionate about what you're doing?Īdkins: Yeah, I love it. Some stations are not wanting to play the song because they think it might offend somebody.ĬNN: Don't you like the controversy a little bit?Īdkins: I found that over my career, that polarizing songs sell more records because they create passion, and that's what you want to do with music. We're already getting some resistance, and some blowback at radio. This song is suggestive, and I know that - even though there aren't any bad words in the song. (Chuckles) I don't know how smart it was, but there was a reason that I had for going with the puppets. Trace Adkins: I'm not in it very much, so I feel certain it's going to probably be the best video I've ever done. Then you go and take a backseat to puppets. "I hope he doesn't look like me."ĬNN: You've become quite the sex symbol lately - people want to see you in videos. "It's kind of creepy," he muttered under his breath. So clearly, something's goin' down somewhere - probably in that big red barn.ĬNN spoke with Adkins between takes at the video shoot, where he eyed his puppet with suspicion.
Over in puppet wardrobe, designers are laying out a doll-sized negligee and bra. "We wanted to do a video that kept the innuendo, but at the same time is G-rated so that kids can watch it, and their parents don't have to worry about them seeing something - so we're using puppets," he says. The song may be sexually suggestive, but the video needs to pass muster on CMT and GAC if it wants to see airplay. The words "brown chicken, brown cow" are a play on "boom chicka wow wow" - or as Adkins explains, "That old guitar lick that was predominant in every porno done in the seventies."
In just a few minutes, both Adkins and his two-foot doppelganger will step in front of the cameras to shoot the video for his latest single, "Brown Chicken Brown Cow," off his current album, "Cowboy's Back in Town." His puppet double is 50 feet away, discreetly getting a make-over by the glam squad behind a big red barn. The 49-year-old singer-actor is standing in the middle of a field at Golden Oak Ranch, just north of Los Angeles. "I'm feeling a little neglected, because my hairdresser's spending more time doing the puppet's hair than mine," grumbles the 6-foot-6 country star, his trademark mane tumbling halfway down his back. To hear a longer cut of the interview, you can subscribe to "Soundcheck Uncut" on iTunes or on Newhall, California (CNN) - Trace Adkins is having a diva moment.
