Those "experts" know that the late country music superstar, Jimmie Davis, singer of "You Are My Sunshine", was once Governor of our state.

However, those same history buffs might be totally unaware that the mother of another country music superstar holds political office in North Louisiana.

If the intrigue has still peaked your interest, I'll withhold the location of the Louisiana town to give you a few other clues to help you narrow down the possibility of who this country superstar might be.

To aid in your fact finding mission, you might want to check out this Facebook post from Louisiana State Parks.

In their post, they thanked this country superstar, his wife Victoria, and his mom, Peggy, for appearing at the Mansfield State Historic Site.

Here are a few other clues as to whom this superstar might be.

Obviously he's a guy.  His hometown is in North Louisiana.  As a matter of fact, he's a local boy as his roots are buried deep in Webster Parish.

Think you know who he is?  If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll give you another couple of little tidbits of info.

He was one of Donald Trump's favorite contestants on The Celebrity Apprentice. His hometown is relatively small with a population of only 777.  The Muddy Bottoms ATV park is located in his hometown.

Where's that place?  It's Sarepta, Louisiana.  And who is he?

He is none other than Trace Adkins and his mom, Peggy has been Mayor since November of 2013.

And just like Paul Harvey would say, "And now you know....the rest of the story."
