With over 11 million albums sold and a new EP on Verge Records on the horizon, Country music icon Trace Adkins releases his new song “Mind On Fishin,’” accompanied by a music video starring T. Graham Brown premiering on One Country. Watch the music video HERE.
“As a man who still likes to fish about every evening, ‘Mind On Fishin’’ is very relatable to me,” Adkins shared with One Country. “The
song, co-written by one of my favorite writers, Wynn Varble, along with
Aaron Raitiere, humorously tells the story of a struggle we have all
faced a time or two.”
“‘Mind On Fishin’” was one of the first tracks Trace and his team played
me after Trace signed with Verge,” shared Mickey Jack Cones, president
and COO of Verge. “I’ve loved it since the first listen. It’s an honest,
feel good, uptempo, positive song – which are usually the ingredients
of a potential hit. Not to mention, the song is fitting for the times
since we’re unable to congregate in Church due to social distancing.”
Written by Aaron Raitiere and Wynn Varble and produced by Bart Butler,
“Mind On Fishin’” has a nostalgia-like charm that emphasizes country
living:
I’d rather be on a lake with my mind on God
In the middle of his creation
In an old john boat with my Zebco rod
For some private conversation
There might be a few people talking bad about me
When they see that I’m a missin’
But I’d rather be on a lake with my mind on God
Than in church with my mind on fishin’
