With Country Star Trace Adkins on its Cover, Tall Magazine's December Issue Showcases the "Giants" of the Music World

December issue also Highlights Holiday Fashions, Airline Travel for Talls, and Product Reviews

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) November 4, 2004 -- Standing 66", cover boy and country music man Trace Adkins casts a long shadow on TALL Magazines December issue -- the only consumer magazine serving the growing community of tall men and women. In its first-ever music" issue, available on newsstands now, TALL reaches to all areas of music to profile a diverse variety of "giants" in their respective genres including Adkins, singer/songwriter Marshall Chapman, banjo player/storyteller Phil Van Tee, Rexways bassist (and former female wrestler) Susan Phelan, Verve Pipe frontman Brian Vander Ark, along with a comprehensive listing of performers who go for the rafters" with their musical talents.

Working on the cover story for this issue really allowed us to not only choose musicians who fall within the 'tall requirements, but also allowed us to highlight some amazing talent that some of our readers may not be aware of," said Everard Strong, the 69" editor of TALL. With each issue we are discovering specific topics worthy of becoming the focus of an issue - such as travel, music, cars, and fashion - and I believe that this issue will set the stage for an annual music issue for many years to come."

While being tall doesnt automatically translate into a bigger stage presence, it certainly doesnt hurt. Country music star and Louisiana native, Adkins confers. Ive always looked at it as a blessing," he says in an exclusive interview with TALL.

After exploding on the scene in 1996 with his platinum-selling Dreamin Out Loud, Adkins continues to be a mainstay on the country music charts while also pursuing his other interests outside of music including voice over work (hes been the voice of KFC), NASCAR, and voicing his views on the political scene.

Not to be overlooked, the December issue also features information on blogging," a tribute to Christopher Superman" Reeve, and a comprehensive article on flight travel and what many airlines offer the tall traveler by way of comfort, and how a few extra inches of pitch can mean the difference between an enjoyable flight and a lesson in discomfort. Not to be missed, the holiday fashion offerings are a refreshing collection of stylish and festive looks that cater to the reader by designers who specialize in tall couture. Regular columns, including Watch Your Back," Teen Talk," Tall Things Considered," and Shape Up," also offer topical advice and suggestions on all aspects of the tall lifestyle.
