Tracy Darrell "Trace" Adkins was born in Sarepta, Louisiana to Aaron Adkins, a mill worker, and the former Peggy Carraway. His uncle was the Christian musician James W. Carraway (1923–2008).
Trace once cut off the pinkie finger on his left hand while using a knife to open a bucket, and he asked the doctors to reattach it in a useful position to make up for losing the ability to move it. They made his finger permanently crooked to fit around the neck of a guitar.
Trace got his big break while singing at Tillie's & Lucy's honky-tonk bar in Nashville. He was spotted by Scott Hendricks, president/CEO of Capitol Nashville, and quickly signed to a recording contract.
