You might say Tracy Byrd's career in country music could just as easily have never happened. Even though he loved to sing as a youngster, he was too shy to sing for anyone other than himself.
 That is hard to believe, because today his live performances generate enthusiastic crowds and he has created an impressive list of accomplishments. That list includes three gold albums and one double-platinum album, "No
Ordinary Man," which contains an Academy of Country Music Song Of The Year winner, "The Keeper Of The Stars." That track was nominated for a Country Music Association Award for Single of The Year
and was the fifth largest selling sheet music for 1995. "The Keeper Of The Stars" has become one of the most often used wedding songs ever!
Although Tracy cherishes the simple things in life and likes to be thought of as a regular guy, his career path is dotted with outstanding accomplishments and a rare unselfishness that sets him apart from many others in his field. He galvanizes his music with his outdoor lifestyle which he deeply loves, all the while making sure that someone benefits from all the fun. Tracy's genuine love of the outdoors has resulted in a promotional campaign for TNN Outdoors on The Nashville Network. He told TNN, "I've always loved to fish and hunt. It's my number one passion, next to family and music."
Beginning with his 1992 debut single, "That's The Thing About A Memory," through four critically acclaimed best selling albums, all the way up to his MCA single, "I'm From The Country," Tracy Byrd has demonstrated impeccable taste in material and has a tremendous affinity for traditional country music and those who perform it well. He has done so with an uncanny knack for simultaneously bowing to his heroes and creating music with contemporary sensibilities.
His choice of material continues to work like a well-oiled machine, and his consciousness of artistic growth is
formidable. Those qualities, when added to his generosity and his unapologetic commitment to making traditional country music, prove that
Tracy Byrd is no ordinary man.
