Road Photos: Toby & Trace, Chris Young, Darius

Trace Adkins is supporting Toby Keith on his current "America's Toughest Tour." But nothing could have prepared the two for the reaction they've been getting when Toby brings Trace back out on stage for an encore performance of Keith's monster hit "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry America)." The natural connection between the two artists is obvious to the crowds and, in retrospect, to Toby as well. Keith has been bringing Adkins out for the explosive performance each night of the tour, which started in June and runs through September.
