Despite his ability to garner two greatest-hits packages (the former was on another label), the baritone-rich Tracy Byrd hasn't been able to shake his lightweight status, mostly because his forte is danceable novelty songs, as with "The Truth About Men," and estrogen-stirring ballads ("Just Let Me Be in Love"). Both of those tunes appear here, one right after the other, as if to show the dual side of the handsome Texan's personality. If the former reinforces the stereotype of men as football- and sex-obsessed goons, the Latin-flavored "...Love" presents the ideal male as a true-hearted romantic who lives for pheromone highs. Byrd is equally adept at embodying both extremes, but he's even better when he goes outside these roles with songs like Keith Stegall's "Tiny Town," which lets him wax nostalgic about something real. This second greatest-hits package contains new--if less fetchingly recorded versions--of "Watermelon Crawl" and "I'm from the Country," as well as two brand-new songs. "Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman," already a single, plants Byrd squarely back in cartoon territory, while the rockin' "Johnny Cash" proves to be less about the Man in Black than the saga of a hot-headed prole feeling his oats. Still, the latter is another step outside the box, something Byrd desperately needs to push for more often. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews

Greatest Hits
Another great album of Tracy Byrd's. This album brings together all his great songs over a period onto one CD. I have been retracing Tracy's songs on radio and this album has helped with all those hits on it. A True country album that is a must in your collection. Thinking back to Watermelon Crawl, I'm From the Country, The Truth about Men, and so the list goes on of brilliant songs and what a voice...Highly recommended.

BYRD IS GREAT
The talent of Tracy Byrd is very evident on this CD. I use several of his songs in my Line Dance classes and they always have a good strong beat and infectious rhythm.

Tracy Byrd
Tracy has pulled songs from most of his CD's to make up this package. While some fans might not believe that is a good idea, this listener likes having his hits all in one place. From Watermelon Crawl to The Truth About Men this is a feel good, have fun CD. There are a couple of new songs included Johnny Cash and Revenge of a Middle Aged Woman. Johnny Cash is a definate honky tonk crowd pleaser, it has a toe tapping beat and should get you out of your seat and wanting to dance. Revenge of a Middle Aged Woman is the tale of a woman upset with her cheating husband, it is another toe tapper that Tracy is known for recording.
