==Early life==
Adkins was born in Sarepta, Louisiana, located in Webster Parish in north Louisiana. He is the son of Aaron Doyle Adkins, a mill worker, and the former Peggy Caraway.〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=124488937〕 His uncle was the Christian musician James W. Carraway (1923–2008). His musical interest came at an early age when his father taught him to play the guitar. In high school, he joined a gospel music group called the New Commitments. He was also a member of the FFA. Later, Adkins attended Louisiana Tech University. A walk-on offensive lineman on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football team, Adkins left the team after his freshman season due to a knee injury, without ever playing in a game.〔Tracy Adkins is not listed in Louisiana Tech's letterwinners list. 〕 Though he never officially graduated and he took up work at an oil rig. He lost the pinky finger on his left hand in an accident while using a knife to open a bucket, and asked doctors to reattach the finger at an angle so that he could continue to play guitar.〔 Adkins then moved on to playing in honky tonk bars for the next few years in the Ark-La-Tex area and eventually moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in the early 1990s. In late-1994 Adkins met Rhonda Forlaw, who was an executive at Arista Records Nashville. Forlaw had numerous music industry friends come out to hear Adkins over the next few years. Scott Hendricks of Capitol Nashville signed him "on the spot" one night while Adkins was playing at Tillie and Lucy's bar in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. (42)
