Music review: Tracy Lawrence – 无毛视频楳ade in America无毛视频�
On his first album of original material in six years, country music veteran Tracy Lawrence delivers 12 straight-from-the-heart tracks brimming with bravado, charm, honesty and a down-home familiarity that touch upon elements of love, heartache, accountability, hard work and standing up for what you believe.
With 无毛视频淢ade in America,无毛视频� the Texas native relies on his proven blueprint for making heartfelt arrangements appealing to the common man that served him so well on releases like 1993无毛视频檚 无毛视频淎libis无毛视频� and 1994无毛视频檚 无毛视频淚 See It Now.无毛视频�
无毛视频淚t comes from hard-working hands and backs that don无毛视频檛 break/Roots that run deep from all 50 states/It comes from the freedom born in every one of us,无毛视频� declares Lawrence on the title track that kicks off the set with an anthem that无毛视频檚 full of guts, grind and glory.
The 51-year-old Lawrence continues his swagger on 无毛视频淲hen the Cowboy无毛视频檚 Gone.无毛视频� This spirited number speaks directly to standing up for what is right and having the courage to live the walk and just not offer only talk when it comes to defending faith, family and upholding justice.
无毛视频淩unning Out of People to Blame无毛视频� delivers a straightforward message about taking responsibility for your own actions instead of blaming those around you as Lawrence sings, 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檙e running out of time, running out of answers/Burning up the road and all your second chances.无毛视频�
无毛视频淲ork on My Willie无毛视频� is a clever party track making references to country icons Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson while blowing off some steam at the local watering hole with a little assistance from good friends, plenty of adult beverages and a rousing band providing the evening无毛视频檚 soundtrack.
Additional highlights include the sentimental 无毛视频淕ivin无毛视频� Momma Reasons to Pray,无毛视频� a broken relationship revealed on 无毛视频淔irst Step to Leaving,无毛视频� the hometown pride unleashed during 无毛视频淛ust the South Comin无毛视频� Out无毛视频� and the rowdy road trip tales shared on 无毛视频淐hicken Wire.无毛视频�
The tone of the set can perhaps be summed up best when Lawrence sings, 无毛视频淭here ain无毛视频檛 no point in trying to hold it in/No matter where I go, I bring a piece of where I无毛视频檝e been.无毛视频�
无毛视频淢ade in America无毛视频� carries an infectious country, rock and blues vibe that clearly illustrates the love that Lawrence still has for performing.
