I’ll have to think for a little bit about my favorite rediscoveries but I do want to mention three of my other favorite (and mostly forgotten) Tracy Lawrence songs that are worth listening to:
The Coast Is Clear
Lonely
It’s All How You Look at It
These days, commerical country music being what it is, I find myself searching back into the 90’s and discovering some music that I missed or was too young to appreciate back then. I recently bought Mark Chesnutts Greatest Hits and Clint Blacks Greatest Hits, both released in 1996. I’ve been listening to them alot and it makes me miss that country sound at radio.
I’ve been listening too a lot of Reba’s music(your site’s artist feature has gotten me to revisit some of her music.) And listening to her music again I’m still reminded why I liked her in the first place.
BTW, country music in the 90’s is also my favorite decade of the genre as well, being a kid in the 90’s in brings back good memories. But who knews maybe someday I’ll look back at the 2000’s music as a whole and think it wasn’t as bad as I think half of it is now 😀
“… who knews maybe someday I’ll look back at the 2000’s music as a whole and think it wasn’t as bad as I think half of it is now.”
Nah. 😀
Haha, that’s one of the best replys I could ask for!
Here recently, I’ve been going through Clint Black, Lorrie Morgan, and John Michael Montgomery’s catalogs. I sort of strayed away from them (I really don’t know why) but i came back and have really been enjoying it a lot.
Thanks for the link, J.R. Not surprisingly, our nineties coverage is what I’m revisiting/rediscovering right now and I’m quite enjoying it.
Kathy Mattea. I’m enjoying her “Definitive Collection” CD. Just love “455 Rocket” Remember the video?
Speaking of videos, I had occasion to see Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” the other day. Remember that all-star chorus? If memory serves: Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, Suzy Boguss, Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless. Not a one of them is getting any airplay or chart action, anymore. So very sad.. Those were the days.
For Tracy Lawrence I particularly liked “Alibis” and a recent number “Used To The Pain”
I’ve been rediscovering Clint Black
Tracy Lawrence has long been a favorite of mine. I was hook when Thats How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye, came out. Used to the Pain is one of my favorites as well as a cover of Keith Whitely’s I’m Over You. I know most people say it is a bad cover but i like it.
I have been discovering The Wrights recently.
I like that Whitley cover too.
My ipod is filled with CD’s I bought when I was in college, which was the early 90’s, so that includes Tracy Lawrence, The Kinleys, Little Texas, Lorrie Morgan, Mindy McCready, The Wilkinsons, Sherrie Austin, Suzy Bogguss, Lila McCann, Billy Dean, Blackhawk, Confederate Railroad — and I am rediscovering all of their music – because for the longest time — all of their CD’s just sat on a shelf and collected dust….and now that I have an ipod I am once again listening to all of their music and remembering why I liked them in the first place…
I just found my Essential Ronnie Milsap. Id def forgotten how much I loved some of his music.
Michael “Lonely” is a killer song. I heard it on the radio the other day for probably the first time since it was on the charts the other day and was floored by how great it was!
Yeah, it’s mostly forgotten now so I’m surprised you heard it on the radio. I think it barely cracked the Top 20 when it was released. Chock it up as another single whose quality was not reflected in its peak chart position.
