While
Trace Adkins' second album,
Big Time, isn't as consistently strong as his debut,
Dreamin' Out Loud, it nevertheless establishes him as a vocal talent. There are moments where the songwriting rings a little flat, but the best cuts on
Big Time, such as the single "The Rest of Mine," are well-crafted contemporary country showcasing his booming baritone to fine effect. ~ Thom Owens
