Since beginning to sing in his local church choir, being a part of the music industry was all Tracy wanted to do. Performing in local clubs and the honky-tonk circuit during his teenage years, he headed off to Nashville as soon as he finished college. He was signed to a record label just a few months after arriving. He had popular songs right from the beginning of his radio career, having a stretch of top ten hits that lasted six years. Tracy became another one of the popular honky-tonk singers in the 1990’s country music scene. Although his music would sometimes get lost in amongst the multitude of country music stars at that time, he was still able to get a number of hits, gain a great fan base, sell millions of albums and earn nominations from both the Country Music Association Awards and the Grammy Awards. Although radio basically faded him out once the 90’s were over, Tracy has still been able to bring in a audience for his shows and continues to record music. At this point in time, there would need to be a lot of people out of the way for him to have a shot at the Hall Of Fame. But with his string of hits, don’t count him out.
