Doug Adkins

{ Douglas Martin Adkins (born October 3, 1963) is an Americana/country musician and songwriter who grew up in Montana, United States. In 2020 Adkins chose Samu Haber and Rea Garvey, the coaches from Team Samu Rea for the anniversary of The Voice of Germany (season 10). For the blind audition, Adkins sang the classic country hit "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus. Coach Mark Forster also turned around for Adkins, but in the end Adkins chose Haber and Garvey due to the country music elements they have in their songwriting. In the Battles, Adkins sang against newcomer Claudia Pahl from Tirol, Austria. Together they performed the Billie Eilish hit "Ocean Eyes". The duet performed the song in a country music style, which garnered worldwide attention and hundreds of thousands of views on The Voice of Germany website. It received acclaim for its originality and daring approach. Between 1990 and 2020, Adkins recorded 10 original studio CDs. In 2005 he worked with Nashville producer and bass player Mike Chapman to bring about the CD Whiskey Salesman. Chapman is known as one of the "G-Men" credited with recording the music on every Garth Brooks album. Also appearing on those first successful recordings were Brent Mason and J.T. Corenflos on electric and acoustic guitars; Paul Franklin and Bruce Bouton on steel guitar, lap steel and dobro; and Lonnie Wilson on drums. The first track released from the CD Whiskey Salesman stayed at the #1 position on the European Hotdisc Top 40 Country Charts for the weeks of 23 February and 2 March 2006. "Whiskey Salesman" was nominated for "Best Country Song of the Year" in 2008 by the Independent Music Awards. The second song released off the Whiskey Salesman CD was "Window Shoppin", which reached the #12 position on the European Hotdisc Top 40 Country Charts. {
