of Johnny Paycheck Someone to Give my Love to cementing Byrd as a Traditional
Country Troubadour!! The Debut Album went on to be certified Gold, a reward
signifying sales in excess of 500,000 copies.
Byrd's second project, No Ordinary Man, kept building on the momentum the
first album created the first radio single from it called Lifestyle of the Not so Rich
and Famous reached #4, followed by another top five hit, The First step, then with
the release of the smash, chart topping hit Watermelon Crawl the second album
crossed the half million sales mark and certified Gold. The release of the 4th and last
single on this project moved Byrd to the top of both the Billboard Album and Singles
charts. The song was called The Keeper of the Stars and it shot to #1 on the singles
charts and pushed the album to Double Platinum Status, which certifies sales of over
2 Million Copies. The Keeper of the Stars won Academy of Country Musics Song of

His third studio Album, Love Lesson is one of Tracy favorites. It included the
title track, another top five hit single for Byrd, also included were the top 15 singles,
Walking to Jerusalem and Heaven in My Woman Eyes, Byrd's personal favorite.
A 4th top 15 single was released called 4 to 1 in Atlanta which Byrd performed Live

Big Love became Byrds fourth studio album with its release in the fall of
1996. It spawned two more top five singles with the release of the title track and
Don't Take Her Shes All I've Got The Videos of both of these songs reached the top
of CMT Video Chart and also earned Byrd his first TNN Television Special titled Tracy Byrd Big Love on which Byrd invited guest Johnny Paycheck, Mark Chesnutt,
and Asleep at the Wheel. The Album Big Love; became Tracys Fourth consecutive
Studio Album to be Certified Gold. Tracy said that this meant more to him than
anything because he knew Fans weren't just listening to his hit songs on the radio, they
were laying down their hard earned money to own a copy of their own and that was
flattering.
The fifth project on MCA was titled, I'm From the Country and it contained the
title track a fun, party song stating what most fans already knew, that Tracy Byrd was
from the Country and sang Country Music. The CD also contained a Beautiful Ballad
called I Wanna Feel That Way Again Both of these singles reached the Top Five on the
Charts. It was at this same time that TNN Outdoors recruited Byrd as the TV Host of
their Weekend Outdoor Broadcast. Tracy, a well known outdoorsman, was perfect for
the job and continued his hosting responsibilities for three years.
At this point in his career, Tracy Byrd, was looking for a change in labels, but still
was under contract with MCA Records who were preparing a release of Keepers:
Greatest Hits containing all the hits from Byrds catalog of songs. The album quickly
earned another Gold Record award for Byrd but he was trying to persuade MCA to let
him out of his contract so he could pursue a different direction. MCA finally allowed
Byrd out of his contract and he quickly signed with RCA Records and got to work on a
new project, "Its About Time\, that would be released in November of 1999 and would
reach the top 10 quickly with the single Put Your Hand In Mine Byrd has said that this
album is the most Traditional Album he ever released and therefore his favorite.
Tracy Byrd crossed into the new Millineum with the release of his Album 10
Rounds It took off on the release of a duet with his longtime hometown buddy and
hero Mark Chesnutt. The song was called Good Way to get on my Bad Side and was
a milestone for Byrd to finally get to record with his good friend. Then came the release
of the party song of the year, "10 Rounds with Jose Cuervo which shot to the top of the
Billboard Charts to notch Byrds third #1 single. He also hit the top 10 with his spanish
guitar flared Just Let Me be in Love.
Next came The Truth About Men which first released the title track which was
a comedic look at what Men are really like, it was a team effort with Tracy buddies
Blake Shelton, Andy Griggs, and Troy and Eddie of Montgomery Gentry lending their
talents to the song and the video. This Album also released the top five smash The
Drinkin Bone, which became a crowd favorite sing along song.
Byrd was then moved to BNA Records, the sister label of RCA, and they released
his second greatest hits project, another feat that not many artists experience, two
Greatest hits projects!!! It debuted in the top five of the album charts and became
Byrds sixth Gold Album, and sent him to over 6 Million Records Sold!!!
Byrd then left the major label and released an album on his own, appropriately
titled, Different Things Although this project was not commercially successful, it
garnered Byrd his highest Critical acclaim of his career with Billboard magazine
choosing it as one of their Top 10 Country Albums of the Year!!!
Through all of these years Byrd became a promoter favorite on the road,
performing over 4000 exciting shows across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe,
and Australia from 1992 until 2009! He then say he needed a break to take care of
himself and his most precious thing, his family, wife Michelle, daugter Evee, and son
Logan and Jared, who had taken a backseat to his career for year. He did not perform
from 2010-2013, but in 2014 he got back to the music with a new band and a new
found sobriety and love of the thing he enjoys so much. Say's Byrd, These days my
life has great balance, with my music being a part of it, not all of it. I can honestly say I
have never enjoyed it more!!
Byrd went back in the studio in June of 2016 and started work on his first
project in 10 years. Recorded completely in Tyler, Texas at Rosewood Studios, that
album is appropriately titled, All American Texan, which is exactly what he is and has
always been. This album features 8 tracks written by Byrd, a fact he is very proud of.
The album was released in October of 2016 and has been very well received by his fans
and critics alike.
