Tracy Lawrence Answers Fan Questions Via the Boot’s Twitter

Tracy Lawrence has just released his first full production album in five years, and the singer spent some one-on-one time with his fans online Wednesday night (Aug. 21). Lawrence took over The Boot's Twitter account for an hour-long live chat in which he talked about the new release, and much more.

'Headlights, Taillights and Radios' is a creative reinvention for the singer, whose 22 Top 10 hits include ‘Time Marches On,’ ‘Find Out Who Your Friends Are,’ ‘Alibis’ and ‘Paint Me a Birmingham.’ He set out to make a more modern, edgier record than past efforts -- but it didn't happen overnight, as he revealed Wednesday night.
