On this Off Stage Special:

Trace talks about his church-going mom not liking some of his music. He says: "The first one she really hated was I Left Something Turned On At Home. She said 'you're gonna have to expain to your little girls what that song is about, because I'm not!' When I told Trace that even HE looked embarrassed toward the end of the Honky Tonk Badonkadonk video he admitted: "I was. I was! I truly was! I saw my mama's face every time that girl's butt was hitting me on the shoulder, I was seeing my mama's face I swear! I knew she was not gonna like that at all. And I was seeing my wife's face from time to time sneaking in there! I knew she wasn't gonna be real proud of me either, but I can always say, Hey, I'm not the director!'

I asked Trace why, after coming off the road exhausted by performing, he heads straight to the farm for backbreaking labor like tree-planting, bush hogging, wood chopping, etc. He says: 'It is therapeutic for me really. I have to work hard and at the end of the day be completely exhausted and nasty. I have to look behind myself at the end of the day and see tangible results from my efforts. I have to have that to make me feel better (because) in the music business I can perform and record and do interviews all day, but there's nothing I can actually put my hands on to show I did a hard day's work!
