An Honest Too Goodness Real Country Song

I heard a real country song this morning on an alledged country music station.Trace Adkins did it.Fiddle and steel split the break,steel dominant through the entire song.Didn't catch the name of the song,Iwas too stunned.It is country and it is good.I hope it goes #1,it most likely will.

Hi Ray,
They might have played "The Rest of Mine," a song from about 5 years ago. He hasn't had any "real" country singles out lately though I wish he would. He sang "Eleven Roses" for a Hank Jr. tribute album which is the best "country" song he's cut in years (I'm not sure if the album is out yet). We've been playing it in our shows lately & he does such a great job with it.

Hi Ray,
Yes, its very tasty (one of my favorite solos). No, it's not me. It was Paul Franklin.
