“FIND OUT WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE” by TRACY LAWRENCE
Tracy Lawrence is an American singer and songwriter who rose to fame (in the 1990s) with a series of successful country albums and hit singles. In 1991, he released his debut album that featured the song “Sticks & Stones”, which became his first #1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. He would go on to release many other popular singles including “Alibis,” “Can’t Break It to My Heart,” and “My Second Home” (just to name a few).
Known for his dynamic live performances, he has been a consistent presence on the country music touring circuit. Throughout his career, he has received numerous awards including the Academy of Country Music’s “Top New Male Vocalist” award (in 1992).
His impact on country music, especially during the 1990s, has contributed to the genre’s diverse landscape. His success is particularly marked by a distinctive honky-tonk sound that resonates with traditional country music fans.
