Born in 1968, Tracy Lawrence cut his teeth on local honky-tonks before finding his way to Nashville and signing with Creator/AtlanticRecords in 1991. Just before his debut album came out, he was shot four times after getting mugged at a hotel. The publicity no doubt helped to boost his debut album ''Sticks and Stones'' to platinum sales, in addition to sending its debut single (the title track) to the top of the country charts.

Born in 1968, Tracy Lawrence cut his teeth on local honky-tonks before finding his way to Nashville and signing with Creator/AtlanticRecords in 1991. Just before his debut album came out, he was shot four times after getting mugged at a hotel.

For his next four albums, he managed a consistent pace of four singles each, in addition to "Renegades, Rebels, and Rouges", a minor hit from the ''Film/{{Maverick}}'' soundtrack in 1994. Despite an arrest on a weapons charge in 1995, his career continued unabated, with platinum albums and #1 singles to spare...
...until 1997, when a domestic abuse charge against his wife led to their divorce and an abrupt stop to his musical success. His then-current single "The Coast Is Clear" fell from the #26 position, and he was absent from the charts for nearly two years. Despite resurfacing in 2000 with "Lessons Learned", he got no other hits from the album of the same name. The closure of Atlantic's Nashville division in 2001 moved him to Creator/WarnerBrosRecords to no success, although he got a stray hit in 2004 with "Paint Me a Birmingham" off Creator/DreamWorksRecords. After ''they'' closed, he issued a GreatestHitsAlbum which consisted of re-recordings of his major Atlantic-era hits. All releases since 2006 have been completely independent, with none except for the first ("Find Out Who Your Friends Are") making any noise on the charts... and that song only did so because it got a remix featuring Music/TimMcGraw ''and'' Music/KennyChesney.
Lawrence is known for his combination of traditional and mainstream '90s country, with a twangy voice and strawberry-blonde mustache not unlike Music/AlanJackson. Although he never reached the same level of superstardom as his peers, he still had an impressive run of hits from 1991 to 1997.
