Born January 27, 1968, in Atlanta, Texas, and raised in Foreman, Arkansas.   Tracy has  two brothers and three sisters.    Tracy started singing in the choir and learned to play guitar. His mother had wanted him to grow up to be a minister, but he wanted to play music. He started playing local clubs at age 15 and By  17  he had joined a local honky-tonk band.   He attended Southern Arkansas University in 1986 to study mass communications but dropped out two years later to sing for a band based out of Louisiana. When the band broke up, Lawrence moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1990

Tracy was supporting himself through odd jobs around town and he also became a regular performer at several different Nashville nightclubs and bars, and further supported himself by winning local talent competitions.   After performing at an artist showcase at Nashville's Bluebird Café in January 1991, Lawrence was discovered by, who helped him sign to Atlantic Records'.   This signing took place only seven months after his move to Nashville and was and still is unheard of!

As part of Tracy Lawrence-Your Country Music Fact Of The Day, after he signed his record deal he started working on his debut album, "Stick & Stones", on May 31, 1991, after he had completed vocal tracks,  Tracy was walking a high school friend to the door of her hotel room at a downtown Nashville.  He was confronted by three men who intended to rape Wilkerson and rob both of them.^[4] Lawrence resisted and was shot four times, allowing his friend to escape. Two of the wounds were major and required surgery at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center,^[7] and one bullet remained embedded in his hip. The shooting and subsequent surgery also delayed the release of the album so that he would have time to recover before promoting it.

Here comes some of Tracy's biggest songs!
