"I Left Something Turned on at Home" went to No. 1 on Canada's country chart. At least six of his studio albums have received gold or platinum certification in the United States; his highest selling to date is 2005's Songs About Me, which has been certified 2× Multi Platinum for shipping two million copies. Adkins is widely known for his distinctive bass baritone singing and speaking voice. He has also made several appearances on television, including as a panelist on the game shows Hollywood Squares and Pyramid, as a 2008 finalist and as the 2013 winner on The All Star Celebrity Apprentice, as the voice for recurring character Elvin on King of the Hill, and the main role of Albie Roman on Monarch, as well as in television commercial voice overs for KFC and Firestone. Also, Adkins has written an autobiography titled A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Free Thinking Roughneck, which was released in late 2007. He has appeared in numerous films, including The Lincoln Lawyer, Moms' Night Out, and I Can Only Imagine.

Adkins was born in Sarepta, Louisiana, the son of Peggy Carraway and Aaron Doyle Adkins. His maternal uncle was the Christian musician James W. Carraway (1923–2008). His musical interest came at an early age when he was ten and his father bought him a guitar and hired someone to give him lessons. At Sarepta High School, since defunct, Adkins joined a gospel music group called the New Commitments. Adkins never graduated. After leaving college, he worked on an oil rig. He also played music in a band called Bayou. In 1998, Adkins appeared on the PBS music program Austin City Limits (season 23). A change in management delayed the release of Adkins' third album, but the album (titled More ) was eventually released in late 1999. Although the album's title track reached Top 10, More failed to achieve gold status. Adkins' daughter, Mackenzie, was featured in the "More" video.

In 2001, Adkins was injured in a tractor accident and had to cancel touring temporarily. Shortly after the release of his Chrome album, he entered a 28 day alcohol rehabilitation program in Nashville. Chrome was his first album to reach the Top 5 on the country albums charts; its title track reached Top 10 in late 2002. He also made appearances as the center square on the game show Hollywood Squares, and did voice overs in commercials for fast food chain KFC. Only one single, "Then They Do", was released from this Greatest Hits compilation. This album, which succeeded the Greatest Hits collection, produced two singles: the Top 5 single "Hot Mama" and "Rough & Ready", which peaked at No. 13. Adkins and Travis Tritt played the roles of prison convicts in a February 2004 episode of the television series Yes, Dear (Greg & Jimmy's Criminals).

In March 2005, Adkins released his album entitled Songs About Me. It was followed by "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", which became a crossover hit, bringing Adkins into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. 2006 saw the release of Adkins' seventh studio album, Dangerous Man. "Swing", the album's lead off single, peaked at No. 20, while the follow up "Ladies Love Country Boys" became Adkins' second Number One single on the country charts and his first since "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing" in 1997. Adkins' daughter, Brianna, was featured in the "Ladies Love Country Boys" video. The album's final release, "I Wanna Feel Something", proved unsuccessful on the charts; as a result, Adkins announced that he would stop supporting the single. In August 2007, Adkins released a single entitled "I Got My Game On". Originally, the song was planned to be the lead off to a new album, tentatively titled Game On; however, Adkins decided not to release a full album, and instead released his second Greatest Hits compilation, American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II, for which "I Got My Game On" served as the lead off single. The album has also produced Adkins' fastest climbing single to date in its second single, "You're Gonna Miss This". "You're Gonna Miss This" has also become his third Number One hit on the Hot Country Songs, as well as the most successful single to date on the Billboard Hot 100 (#12), Billboard Pop 100 (#19), and Hot Digital Songs charts (#8). Adkins released his first book, entitled A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Free Thinking Roughneck.
