"You find out who your friends are" is a great song and video! And I love the collaboration when Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney are on it. I think there's others too but those are the 2 I remember best
This is one of my favorite Tracy songs! This isn’t how he normally sounds. If you listen to the official video it sounds a little different. Find out who your friends are! Is another favorite of mine. Tracy is so underrated!!!
You guys need to listen to the studio version for quality purposes. This version is definitely when Tracy was older. He puts on a hell of a live concert.
The audio on this version was way pitched up for you tube copywriters. You need the actual version. Tracy Lawrence is awesome and this is one of his best songs.
He's a very underrated artist, in my opinion. His catalog of great songs is pretty vast for someone who became popular in the early 90's. Not many of them stuck around.
This is a different version than what I've always listened to. His voice sounded kind of different than his usual stuff. He is one of the better artists out of the 90s era. James Stroud produced some of his albums (as well as quite a few Clint Black albums). I really like "I'd Give Anything To Be Your Everything Again" and "That's How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye". Awesome video! - Everett
I agree that for whatever reason his voice was nasally or off in this song, and I don't remember it being like that when I have previously listened to it. He also has some videos of him singing live on his page. He has many songs I love and "Time Marches On", "Alibis", "If the World Had a Front Porch", "You Find Out Who Your Friends Are", and "Sticks and Stones" are just a few that I would like you all to listen to.
The audio on this one just sounded off but his voice is unique it wasn't that far off from what I am use too. This is a great song, I think you would really like find out who your friends are. He also had a big hit called Texas Tornado. Time Marches On, and Alibis should also be on your list for voting.
This recording is from his man-cave jam sessions . Tracy was pretty big in the early 90's. "Find out who your friends are" and "Only the good die young" are good tunes by him to check out. This song came out in the 2000's
he was pretty big in the 90s. song like time marches on, sticks and stones, find out who your friends are, alibis, is that a tear I hear, if the world had a front porch, as any fool can see. plus many more
When my dad was the crane manager (branch manager, just different name in SC due to liability) for a crane company, they flew him and several other higher ups to tour the Woodford Reserve in Kentucky. Everyone got a bottle with their name on it. My brother got it after our dad passed. RIP Dad 1970-2021.
Like alot people have commented, this sounds like a recent live or jam session version. The radio version sounds cleaner and voice more pure. He had a rough life patch after early success and now has started touring again in the last 10 years
I've just listened to three different versions of this song (because it sounded different from what I was used to hearing on the radio) and all three had very different versions of his voice. This one was the most "different". Maybe "nasally"? I even tried a live version to see if the radio/album version I was used to was just heavily produced, but the live version was still closer to the album version (to my ears at least) than this was. Don't know what was going on when he did this recording.
Tracy has unique voice you love or hate. I enjoy him every once in a while. He has a fun video for his song 'Ya find out who your friends are', and they lyrics are spot on. LOL
The last few days I've gone deep down the Country Bourbon Reacts rabbit hole. Y'all are reminding me of so many songs I forgot I loved. My Spotify playlist is growing quite a bit.
My hands down favorite b him is “if the works had a front porch” makes me remember sitting on the front porch swing watching summer thunder with mama. My second favorite I think he actually has several but “Time Marches on” is really good.
One of the best voices in country! And one of the most beautifully written songs. Doesn’t have a bad song, ever! Love TL. ♥️♥️ This version does sound different.
It was fun seeing you stop and reassess what you were hearing once the chorus came in! It's not the best recording of his voice, but a great song - one of his later ones, from 2004. Check out some of his songs from the mid 90's - Sticks and Stones, Alibis, If the Good Die Young, How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye. Another singer you haven't listened to yet is Mark Chesnutt - one of my favorite songs ever is "Bubba Shot the Jukebox"! (He had a good reason! It wasn't his fault!) Also "Old Flames Have New Names" and "Gonna Get a Life".
Hey guys long time watcher. Just joined. This song is about the guys wife died. It is a very good song. Thanks for playing it. I have not heard it in a while.
I saw Tracy Lawrence live in 2019 he opened for Alabama great concert. 2 of country greats right there. Love Tracy he's a great singer. The original version of "Paint me a Birmingham" that was played on the radio came out in 2004. The one you checked out was off his album called the singer that was released in 2011. That's why it sounds different.
Yeah, Tracy Ullman.. where the Simpsons originated. I'm pretty sure I've heard that Birmingham is also a style/model of house that he's talking about here... And/or a city in 'Bama. 😁 .. Tracy's biggest hit, arguably, was "Time Marches On" and my favorite is a bear forgotten one, "Renegades, Rebels and Rogues" I think it was for the "Maverick" movie soundtrack with Mel Gibson and James Garner.
I’m from Alabama and I was in medical school in Birmingham when this song was released (2004)… majority of people thought the song was about an actual home in Birmingham, Al but it’s actually about a Birmingham style home. Which is the style of house he’s describing in the song. And not sure why his vocals sounded so different on this video, but in concert and studio he sounds much better. Maybe this is a recording from his later years. But still a great review and good guess!
@@sabbyvk424 nothing wrong with that. I remember going on a tour there when I was in high school. They took us thru the medical department and showed us the internal organs, I almost lost my lunch.
@@stevebournite184 That’s the whole reason I decided to go to UAB lol. I was originally the mascot for University of Alabama, but once I went on tour of the actual cadaver labs I was sold. You wouldn’t even recognize the campus now. It has tripled in size since I graduated in 2008.
While you're on the Birmingham subject, y'all should watch official video of Blackhawk "Postmarked Birmingham". The song is great, but the video really makes it all the better.
My favorites of Tracy's are Till I Was a Daddy Too, Sticks and Stones, Paint Me a Birmingham, If the World Had a Front Porch, I See it Now, Alibis, Can’t Break It to My Heart, Is That a Tear, Somebody Who Would Die For You, As Any Fool Can See, Somebody Paints the Wall, Lie, My Second Home, and Texas Tornado.
I've seen Tracy's live covers over the past few years and this is how he sounds now. It's definitely more nasal than before. Check out his older stuff.
I put off listening to this reaction for a few days because I was afraid y’all would make fun of it. Bravo guys! Pleasantly surprised! Also, a Birmingham is a style of house. Like a notch below a plantation house “if you will”
How have you two bourbon boys not heard of Tracy Lawrence? Pretty popular in the 90's, very country sound. Was lucky enougt to do the Woodford tour and tasting and loved it! The setting is so picturesque and then hearing the history, seeing the original buildings tucked back in the black picket fence equestrian ranches. Gorgeous setting, great tour!!
One of my favorites by him. There is a live version of George Jones, singing I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair with Tracy and Mark Chestnut you should check out. Alibis and Find Out Who Your Friends Are Are 2 more great songs by Tracy. He fries Turkeys every Thanksgiving at the Nashville Rescue Mission and has gotten more people contributing
Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney, the bad boys of 90s country. Their music ranked up there with the best. Tracy is to me an unsung country artist who could have been bigger. Y'all gotta react to Bake me a country ham...
Time Marches On and Alibis are his best songs. This one is good but country radio ran it into the ground when it was first released and now I'm like 😬 when I hear it.
LOVE Tracy Lawrence! Love this song. I absolutely agree with you Keith about Bob Dylan. I don't agree that Tracy Lawrence sounds anything like Bob Dylan. Great review!
My favorite Tracy Lawrence song by far is "Sticks and Stones". This one, whether it's Tracy or not, isn't the version that was a hit. It sounds like a re-recorded version by Tracy.
I grew up listening to this song and singing it with my sisters. I assume it was released in late 90s or early 2000s, but I'm not sure. It was definitely played a lot sometime in yhat time period. This did sound a bit odd, but I didn't really notice till you guys did. I haven't heard it in ages, though, and we used to have pretty bad speakers.
Another great one by Tracy is "Find Out Who Your Friends Are". There are two versions of the song. One has Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney all singing it together, but the other version is Tracy by himself. I believe the version with Tracy by himself is better and has a pretty nice music video with it.
I want to say remember the sun coming out in the I think think it is wonderful wonderful song and I thought your reaction was apropos because Derek burst his voice does have a very Dylan vibe to
Like others have said the audio for this song was off from the version that was released. Makes his voice a little more nasal than normal. The instruments seem streamlined as well. Still a great song.
Thanks for doing my song. I'd hoped you would have done a live version. Tracy sounds better than that. I think you all did his You Find Out Who Your Friends Are.
![Tracy Lawrence -- Paint Me A Birmingham [REACTION/RATING]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9Gvn7TV7D8Y/mqdefault.jpg)
I love his song "You Find Out Who Your Friends Are". It is so true.
Please react to this one!
"You find out who your friends are" is a great song and video! And I love the collaboration when Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney are on it. I think there's others too but those are the 2 I remember best
Yes!
Yes, you find out who your friends are is my favorite Tracy Lawrence song.
I agree. That is a good song
This is one of my favorite Tracy songs! This isn’t how he normally sounds. If you listen to the official video it sounds a little different.
Find out who your friends are! Is another favorite of mine.
Tracy is so underrated!!!
Tracy has one of those distinctive voices that you know immediately who is singing.
You guys need to listen to the studio version for quality purposes. This version is definitely when Tracy was older. He puts on a hell of a live concert.
One of his other songs, Time Marches On, is definitely one of my favorites!❤️
Absolutely one of my favorites of his
The audio on this version was way pitched up for you tube copywriters. You need the actual version. Tracy Lawrence is awesome and this is one of his best songs.
Time Marches On. Also by Tracy Lawrence. Is another great choice. Hows of hiccups going Dustin.
He's a very underrated artist, in my opinion. His catalog of great songs is pretty vast for someone who became popular in the early 90's. Not many of them stuck around.

I LOVE you find out who your friends are!! Second that vote!
This older .tracy lawrence u need 90s version of this song
Love Texas Tornado, Alibis, and Time Marches on. I agree this version is a bit more tinny than usual, but it is Tracy Lawrence.
this is a very beautiful song. Tracy is one of the greats.
The audio on this one just sounded off but his voice is unique it wasn't that far off from what I am use too. This is a great song, I think you would really like find out who your friends are.

All of these are really good songs!
Tracy Lawrence has been around since the 90s. A song of his that I love is Alibis
I met Tracy Lawrence about 17 years ago at a concert he put on at a fishing tournament. He’s a really stand up guy.
He is one of my all time favorite country music singers. His voice is very distinctive and amazing. And yes, this is 90's Country.
It's actually 2000s country. This song was released in 2003.
This recording is from his man-cave jam sessions . Tracy was pretty big in the early 90's. "Find out who your friends are" and "Only the good die young" are good tunes by him to check out. This song came out in the 2000's
I love his song Is That a Tear! I crank it up every time I hear it on the radio.
Texas tornado is a very good song by Tracy Lawrence
Tracy is real country.One of the best
We enjoy your recognition of our awesomeness 😎🤠
he was pretty big in the 90s. song like time marches on, sticks and stones, find out who your friends are, alibis, is that a tear I hear, if the world had a front porch, as any fool can see. plus many more
Tracy has one of those voices you either love or hate. I love his voice and love his music
When my dad was the crane manager (branch manager, just different name in SC due to liability) for a crane company, they flew him and several other higher ups to tour the Woodford Reserve in Kentucky. Everyone got a bottle with their name on it. My brother got it after our dad passed. RIP Dad 1970-2021.
Tracy Lawrence is one of my favorites....
Like alot people have commented, this sounds like a recent live or jam session version. The radio version sounds cleaner and voice more pure. He had a rough life patch after early success and now has started touring again in the last 10 years
I am not sure when he sang this version but the official song is so much better. Tracy is amazing. One of the best from that era.
I am SO glad you guys reacted to this! I love this song, and find it very sweet and a little sad.
Thank you for doing one of my all time favorite songs! Sending warm regards!
Thanks!
Tracy Lawrence is pure 90s country. One of the best of the 90s. This song, however, was 2012.
I've just listened to three different versions of this song (because it sounded different from what I was used to hearing on the radio) and all three had very different versions of his voice. This one was the most "different". Maybe "nasally"? I even tried a live version to see if the radio/album version I was used to was just heavily produced, but the live version was still closer to the album version (to my ears at least) than this was. Don't know what was going on when he did this recording.
Sounds like he was sick. He had the same nasally tone people do when they have a bad cold.
I love Tracy Lawrence, love this song. My sons and I are going to see him and Clay Walker in March. Woo Hoo
Tracy has unique voice you love or hate. I enjoy him every once in a while. He has a fun video for his song 'Ya find out who your friends are', and they lyrics are spot on. LOL
He's one of my favorite artists.
I actually agree that this isn't Tracy, but a cover by someone. I love Tracy and suggest, "Find Out Who Your Friends Are".
It isn't a cover. - Keith
I have to agree that this channel has the best subscribers! Y'all have welcomed me into your friendship and I value that big time!
We definitely do. - Keith
This is a re-recorded version about 15 years after the original. The original has much less twang, even though that’s Tracy’s signature tone.
The last few days I've gone deep down the Country Bourbon Reacts rabbit hole. Y'all are reminding me of so many songs I forgot I loved. My Spotify playlist is growing quite a bit.
My hands down favorite b him is “if the works had a front porch” makes me remember sitting on the front porch swing watching summer thunder with mama.
My second favorite I think he actually has several but “Time Marches on” is really good.
Tracy doesn't sound like Tracy normally does in this video. So y'all are right. It is a bit off.
Time Marches On is definitely a good one
one of my favorites! Love this song! Beautiful!
One of the best voices in country! And one of the most beautifully written songs. Doesn’t have a bad song, ever! Love TL. ♥️♥️ This version does sound different.
It was fun seeing you stop and reassess what you were hearing once the chorus came in! It's not the best recording of his voice, but a great song - one of his later ones, from 2004.

Also "Old Flames Have New Names" and "Gonna Get a Life".
I saw him in concert back in the 90’s. He puts on a great show
Tracy is great but this particular video does sound a little funky. Tinny?
Hey guys long time watcher. Just joined. This song is about the guys wife died. It is a very good song. Thanks for playing it. I have not heard it in a while.
I saw Tracy Lawrence live in 2019 he opened for Alabama great concert. 2 of country greats right there. Love Tracy he's a great singer.

This is a later version of his original song. He was pretty popular in the early to mid 90s.
This is one of my favorites from Tracy
I just saw him this past summer. He was one of the openers for Brad Paisley.
I’m from Alabama and I was in medical school in Birmingham when this song was released (2004)… majority of people thought the song was about an actual home in Birmingham, Al but it’s actually about a Birmingham style home.

He does have that unusual voice but it's his super power..he is great ...has great songs and this was a fun great reaction . I ❤️ this reaction 😂
Tracy Lawrence has some fantastic songs. Sticks and stones, time marches on, did out who your friends are, if the good die young
If I don't make it back is without a doubt his best song
My favorites of Tracy's are Till I Was a Daddy Too, Sticks and Stones, Paint Me a Birmingham, If the World Had a Front Porch, I See it Now, Alibis, Can’t Break It to My Heart, Is That a Tear, Somebody Who Would Die For You, As Any Fool Can See, Somebody Paints the Wall, Lie, My Second Home, and Texas Tornado.
Please don’t judge by this video the sound is off.. Truly enjoy listening to you both give reviews on the music I have grown up on.
By the way....he talks just like he sings. Please react to another one of his so you can really enjoy him. He has so many hits.
Love this song!!
I've seen Tracy's live covers over the past few years and this is how he sounds now. It's definitely more nasal than before. Check out his older stuff.
I LOVE THIS SONG
I think a "Birmingham" is a specific style of house as noted in the song with a wrap-around porch. I didn't get it either until I looked it up.
I love this song and also his song I See it Now
I love this song 🔥
I like a lot of his songs but my very favorite is one that really tugs at your heartstrings "If I Don’t Make It Back"
I put off listening to this reaction for a few days because I was afraid y’all would make fun of it. Bravo guys! Pleasantly surprised! Also, a Birmingham is a style of house. Like a notch below a plantation house “if you will”
We tend to take serious music seriously, I think. Not always a guarantee, but, generally I think we do. - Keith
How have you two bourbon boys not heard of

The setting is so picturesque and then hearing the history, seeing the original buildings tucked back in the black picket fence equestrian ranches. Gorgeous setting, great tour!!
He sounds identical live. Great artist.
Tracy is wonderful! One of my faves. Try reacting to Time marches on, and I know that heart by heart !!

Love some Tracy:)
Brad Paisley - Time Warp (Live On Letterman) gotta keep requesting this to keep it on y'all's mind
Time Marches On is also a good one too
Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney, the bad boys of 90s country. Their music ranked up there with the best. Tracy is to me an unsung country artist who could have been bigger.

My Favorite 😘💯
My favorite Tracy Lawrence song by far is "Sticks and Stones".
This one, whether it's Tracy or not, isn't the version that was a hit. It sounds like a re-recorded version by Tracy.
Birmingham is a type of house. And it is what's he is meaning by a Birmingham in this song
This Birmingham is actually a style of house
I agree with everyone that this doesn’t sound like the Tracy I remember 🙉 But, I was glad you saw past this and appreciated the lyrics 👏🏼
The lyrics were great. - Keith
Listen to find out who your friends are! I love Tracy L music!
Tracy Lawrence has a Friday evening radio show where he hosts other country artists
I grew up listening to this song and singing it with my sisters. I assume it was released in late 90s or early 2000s, but I'm not sure. It was definitely played a lot sometime in yhat time period. This did sound a bit odd, but I didn't really notice till you guys did. I haven't heard it in ages, though, and we used to have pretty bad speakers.

This sounds soooo weird. Not what I'm used to. Haha
His song If The World Had A Front Porch...y'all.
I want to say remember the sun coming out in the I think think it is wonderful wonderful song and I thought your reaction was apropos because Derek burst his voice does have a very Dylan vibe to
I’ve never had the regular Woodford. But I LOVE the Double Oaked.
The regular "distiller's select" is actually pretty decent too, especially for the price. - Keith
Alibis Tracy Lawrence
I love the song from him called Sticks and Stones
You guys should check out..Time marches on ...by Tracy ...everyone's life story in a few verses
I totally agree with the voice thing exclamation poi don't know if you care but laine Hardy does this song beautifully ❤️
Sticks and Stones is a good one.
Tracy is very much 90’s country, he has a sound all of his own and is very nasal….Y’all should check out his song “You find out who your friends are”
Like others have said the audio for this song was off from the version that was released. Makes his voice a little more nasal than normal. The instruments seem streamlined as well. Still a great song.
Thanks for doing my song. I'd hoped you would have done a live version. Tracy sounds better than that. I think you all did his You Find Out Who Your Friends Are.
Thanks for sending us the bribes! - Keith
Please say that y'all watched another video of this song to hear a better version of it!
Texas Tornado or Find out Who Your Friends Are is a couple great songs. Alibis is one of those songs that makes you stop and listen
Love this song 😍
