Chanteur Country US né le 18
Décembre 1966 à Vidor (Texas).
Tracy Byrd's
brand of new traditionalist country made him a star in the '90s, particularly
his playful, good-time party singalongs (though he also turned in the occasional
ballad success). Byrd was born in the small rural town of Vidor, TX, in 1966 and
grew up listening to his family's extensive country record collection. When Byrd
was 20 years old, he visited a novelty recording studio in a shopping mall and
sang over a karaoke-style backing track of "Your Cheatin' Heart." Impressed, the
saleswoman invited him to perform in an amateur talent show, and when Byrd was
well received, he decided to make country music his vocation. He dropped out of
college and joined Mark Chesnutt's
band, eventually replacing Chesnutt
as the house headliner at a popular nightspot in Beaumont, TX. He made one
unsuccessful trip to Nashville in search of a record deal, but his second time
around, he landed a private audition with MCA executives, who signed him right
away.Byrd's self-titled debut album was released in 1993, and while it wasn't a
blockbuster, it put the singer on the map in a big way with its third single,
the number one smash "Holdin' Heaven." The follow-up album, 1994's No
Ordinary Man, was Byrd's commercial breakthrough; it sold over two million
copies thanks to four Top Five hits: the dance tunes "Watermelon Crawl," "Lifestyles
of the Not So Rich and Famous," and "The First Step," and the change-of-pace
ballad "The Keeper of the Stars," which became a wedding favorite among country
fans. Byrd followed his big success quickly with 1995's Love Lessons, and
while singles like "Walking to Jerusalem" and "4 to 1 in Atlanta" didn't
duplicate the massive popularity of their predecessors, they still helped the
album sell at a respectable gold level. 1996's Big Love returned Byrd to
the Top Five of the singles charts with the title track and "(Don't Take Her)
She's All I Got," and the title track of 1998's I'm from the Country
reached similar territory.
Byrd subsequently decided to leave MCA for RCA, and made his label debut with
1999's It's About Time, which featured a smoother, poppier production on
tracks like the near-Top Ten "Put Your Hand in Mine" (the record's biggest
single). However, Byrd returned to straight-ahead, good-time country for the
follow-up, 2001's Ten Rounds; fans rewarded him by sending the single "Ten
Rounds with Jose Cuervo" to the top of the charts, giving Byrd his second number
one. The album also featured the Top Ten hit "Just Let Me Be in Love" and a duo
with Chesnutt on the playfully
anti-pop "A Good Way to Get on My Bad Side." A final album for RCA, Truth
About Men, appeared in 2003. Byrd then released Different Things on
Blind Mule Records in 2006.
