This is a history of Tracy Byrd that I have compiled. I hope you like it and maybe learn something about this great Texas artist. It's About Time - 1999. This is the current album.

Tracy has established himself as a major star with 5 million albums + sold. Some of his many number 1 hits include "Holdin' Heaven" and "The Keeper of the Stars." He is also the spokesperson for the TNN Outdoors program with an eight million viewer weekend audience. Some of his other notable songs include "Watermelon Crawl" and "I'm From The Country."

It's About Time marks a new era of creative freedom because he co-produced the album with help Billy Joe Walker, Jr. "This album was a joy to make," he says. "I was having so much fun in the studio that in the back of my mind I was going, 'Boy this has got to be good.' And then I'd listen to what we'd done so far, and I'd think, 'You know what? This is incredible.' I was totally satisfied" "Put Your Hand In Mine" and t "Every Time I Do," are on this album. He's been described as a traditionalist with a modern twist.

The most important thing in Byrd's life is his family. They are his wife Michelle, daughter Evee and son Logan. "I'm proud to be a Texan, especially a southeast Texan," he says. He gives back every year with The Tracy Byrd Homecoming Weekend. This bass fishing and golfing extravaganza was founded by him in 1994 to raise money for local charities, is an event that gives him great pleasure. To date he has raised more than $350,000 for organizations like March of Dimes and Buckner Children's Village. I think he has a bright future ahead and things are looking up for fans and artist alike.
