NASHVILLE, Tenn. – 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’

Adkins’ first single “Better Off” from his upcoming EP has garnered 5 million streams since its release in mid-March, with a video premiere on Viacom/CBS Times Square billboards, CMT, CMT Music and CMT.com. Watch the video for “Better Off” HERE.
