Doug Adkins - Dirt Roads And Fence Lines / The Story Behind The Album - Recording in

In 2005 Doug Adkins recorded the CD Whiskey Salesman in Nashville and released to radio in the U.S. and in Europe. In Europe Whiskey Salesman was #1 for 4 consecutive weeks on the Hot Disc Charts that went out all over Europe, Australia, New Zealand. As a singer-songwriter in need of a hit country song, that song gave a kick start to a slow moving career and Doug Adkins immediately was touring 100+ country concerts per year. During the recording of that CD he met a couple of the Nashville Greats, musicians such as Mike Chapman , Lonnie Wilson , Brent Mason and others.  "Mike Chapman who played bass guitar and produced the sessions became a good friend of mine and was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Sadly enough, Mike passed away year before last and is truly missed! I also met Brent Mason (Electric Guitar) and Lonnie Wilson (Drummer – Producer), and this album " Dirt Roads And Fence Lines " marks the 4 th time we have gotten together to make s...

Hello, my name is Doug Adkins . I am a traditional country music singer-songwriter from Montana / USA.  My father was an educator so I grew up in little towns like Culbertson, Wolf Point, Froid and finally graduated from Sidney High School, which is in the North East corner of the state... I played basketball, baseball and golf in high school. I got a guitar for my 18th birthday and wrote a song on it the next day. I've been writing songs ever since... Before I even picked up the guitar, I had songs in my head. Things make sense to me that way...

At age 6, I was singing with my sister Betty Jo who was 7 at the time, and my older sister Jacklyn who was 9...
