There are plenty of veteran country stars still making music, even as their careers have moved away from mainstream radio. One singer who still seems to be able to be relevant to Radio -- even if it's only every couple of years at this point -- is Tracy Lawrence. Much like his 90s country brethren Tim McGraw and George Strait, a lot of what makes Lawrence who he is is his ear for selecting material that suits his strong, identifiable voce...

The holder of 27 Top 10 hits, eight Number One hits, and nearly 10 million albums sold, Tracy Lawrence certainly has a career anyone would love to have.

Tracy Lawrence's Time Marches On, the singer's fourth album, is another crowd-pleasing set of contemporary country.
