Tracy Lawrence - Paint Me A Birmingham (Live from the Grand Ole Opry)

[@mikemouse5299]

This guy is the last of the great country singers.When the lyrics were not all dumbed down.When a song actually told a story.

[@jefferyzielke7665]

Someone just might show up to reclaim the throne.

[@maynardwilkins5782]

hang on there cowboy... We've still got George Strait & Alan Jackson

[@charlenejames6883]

Yes Tracy Lawrence is awesome and I love his voice and music❣️❣️

[@bonniedugas8774]

Tracy Lawrence is a good musician but new songs arent Dumbed down. They tell their story of the struggle with drugs or alcohol or whatever they dealt with.

[@FuntastixBand]

I had "honor" of playing guitar with Tracy and opening acts way way back in Charlotte, NC at an FM station ( ?) "Family Reunion concert. I can still goosebumps with his voice in my left floor monitor. No in ear monitors.

[@patriciarobison974]

I've seen Tracy 3 times and loved every show. Tracy never got the accolades he deserved. Hes an amazingly talented man. Thank you Tracy for your wonderful talent.

[@elanacarlson3]

I feel the same way I have been a very very very big fan of his since 1991 and I always will be!

[@MsBatbird]

When CMT first came out I saw his "Sticks and Stones" video, it was the summer of 1991. I absolutely loved it and was a big fan from that day on. I've seen him in concert 5 times. In 2000 I got to get up close and personal, it was at Buck Owen's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, Ca, he was walking in and I asked him to whisper "Darlin" in my ear (loved it when he said it in Today's Lonely Fool) and got a photo of us. He was always very nice to the crowd and put on a great show and being quite easy on the eyes is a bonus! Still lovin' me some Tracy Lawrence!

[@robertbalderas1455]

Yes he is he just never got all the credit cuz he came out when Garth Brooks was out Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw but he's just as good or even better than those guys in my book

[@PatriciaRLawrence-v9k]

This Man deserves to Be Recognized for all of his Talent!! ❤

[@myjeanification]

Not one of the young pop stars and their auto-tune recordings can hold a candle to a vocal performance like this.

[@Jamesbass1968]

You got that right!!

[@RedneckPunk]

So true. He's the greatest country singer since Conway Twitty in my opinion

[@theartistformerlyknownasst7338]

Dude, they've ALLLLLLL been digitally remastered. Not limited to pop genre. Besides, IT WAS THE LYRICS and music tempo that made these songs some of the best.

[@marcianafurtado682]

@Tony Porter are you kidding me??? Today's music is total shit!!!

[@kevinwilliford2678]

Nah none of um can or even with the best conputer auto tune could ever come close to a LEGEND like the one and only TRACY LAWRENCE!!! THIS IS THE SONG ME AND MY SON WHICH I DON'T GET TO SEE ANY MORE sumg together. I absolutely love TRACY LAWRENCE !!!!

[@pardiesel7474]

I’m blown away by his voice every time I see one of these live videos. He sounds the same in concert as he does on the records! Some people are just born to sing, to portray human emotions, pull on the heartstrings, and take you away from reality with the stories they tell. Tracy Lawrence is certainly one of these people!

[@smokeyjoeDingDongExores]

I think he sounds so much better live awesome vocalist you can see how he dose it for his fans and his passion for it

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

His deep growl on some notes leading into the high notes sound unbelievable live

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

His deep growl on some notes leading into the high notes sound unbelievable live

[@elpacho....9254]

What are records?

[@barbhenson2499]

Yes for sure absolutely awesome music!!thanks for sharing your music!!🎶🎸🎶🎸❤❤🎶🎸🎶🎸

[@RedneckPunk]

Me too..he's so good live and approachable. I met him many years ago and was so nice and gracious

[@bmk506]

God damn right!

[@darrellsomers5427]

He stuck with real country music

[@marcianafurtado682]

The best of traditional country music! The way music should be!!

[@katrinaables3692]

This is one of my most loved songs by him. Beautiful words, and a beautiful display of his amazingly beautiful voice. I cry when I hear it.

[@tbizsys]

These guys set the gold standard for Country Music.

[@TheUnderdogMatt]

This is straight up pure solid country at its finest.. period.

[@thomaskaboskey994]

So true

[@hadmatter9240]

Shut up, boy. You've never heard country music.

[@DougHinVA]

listen to Matt...

[@tedharding7357]

Amen

[@luvjesuslee2033]

Never get tired of Tracy Lawrence. What a Talent 2020.

[@karenmessinger9609]

I am can never get enough of him. Love his voice, the way he pronounces, all of it. True talent.

[@owenlonghorn]

True talent and true to country roots!! This song is one of my favorites and never get tired of listening to it. Great job Tracy!!

[@hotwheelssjh]

It doesn't get any better than this! Absolutely flawless performance!

[@mikemiller8660]

One of the greatest voices of all time

[@s.powell335]

Damn ... That Man can sing! Great performance..

[@stacey021375]

S. Powell I saw him live just a couple of years ago, and he sounds exactly the same. I’ve been to many concerts, but he is one of the very few who can sing a song exactly as you know it. True talent there.

[@ethelhoose2972]

I saw him twice he was awesome both times

[@colinfrazer3788]

Still one of my favorite true country songs

[@KathyGentry-e6n]

One of my favorite I just love him and his songs. He is awesome.

[@debbiedaniels553]

This guy is the best and l love this song... "Just Beautiful"

[@debbiedaniels553]

@tracylawrencemusic664 I from Tennessee

[@zekedelgado823]

I been a fan of his over 30 years amazing voice!

[@cathybelle81]

I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. Still love it as much, if not more all these years later...♥️

[@RedneckPunk]

Then that dipped in shit asswipe Cletus T Judd butchered it with his stupidity... I was hoping to see him get slapped by Tracy with that fine Stetson hat he wears

[@chuckbisel8564]

I seen in concert awesome singer

[@DougHinVA]

An excellent song and he was just the singer to make it a big hit. He fell apart after getting stardom, but it does happen.

[@formerlyarandompropernameb9327]

I did, too. I’m a 41 year old black woman. I absolutely weep for the beauty of this song/ “ that” pain that I so relate to when your world without them is so painfully far gone.... but oh the days that were. Let’s walk on by faith, sis❤️

[@scottbyars9238]

Actually this is not a Tracy Lawrence original song it is a remake I cannot remember the original singer but it is an old song way before Tracy started singing

[@joelton77]

Excellent! He does a fine job representing true country music. Unfortunately any upcoming CMA Country Music Award show is a sad state of affairs these days. They really need to change the name of that sorry show to "America"s New Pop Wave Awards"...one look at the line-up will tell the whole story and is undeniable.

[@Richard-vq7ud]

Yes, it is disgusting. I am sure there are many true country artists and writers getting the boot while all the trash gets shoved down our throats. We live in a very corupt world.

[@Richard-vq7ud]

@Johnny Dodge Thanks Johnny, you are right!

[@paulacoon2291]

Absolutely

[@mikeyates7931]

Veritas

[@idgon09]

This is the country I love. Where you can hear the heart and it makes you want to tear up. This song, austin by blake shelton, traveling soldier, anything by lonestar. George straight, they pull me back to that. I miss this true country.

[@DougHinVA]

'true country' is a good tag. You are correct... and jewelry and tattoos and fake kneeless jeans will not undo it.

[@lanceobrien]

Always been one of my favourites of his...

[@kellygittinger1282]

i love tracy lawrence i think he should’ve won awards and still winning now 2022

[@normaneal1911]

❤❤❤love this song.

[@rochellehibler1044]

Beautiful voices like this never go out of style God bless Tracy.

[@charlitoguzman6414]

This performance from Tracy Lawrence and band at the Grand old Opry is historic! Pure Country gold!!

[@dapoolboy7532]

IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER

[@janemyers3903]

I never get tired of hearing this song. Tracy Lawrence is a great performer. I love his music.

[@lutianmurphy4280]

One of Country's greatest songs of all time...love the steel and fiddle ...country fiddle...Tracy such a talent !

[@Jay-nn8gp]

Such talent... One of the major artists that moved me to country...

[@susan2464]

Nothing like it old Country.. The Best..Tracy Lawrence 😉😘

[@BridgetTingley]

I love when a country music artist takes their gifted voice, vocals and transports you with them and the song to entirely different place. Tracy Lawrence & Paint Me A Birmingham does just that. I feel like a bystander looking in and seeing this entire song come to life as it unfolds in his gifted voice. Beyond beautiful. Tracy is just amazing...

[@matteslick9320]

You should write music

[@raystephens5247]

Growing up I lived in DeQueen ,Arkansas, use to play and sing at local functions with Tracy. Just kids playing and singing music we grew up listening too.

[@greggenaros6841]

WPS.

[@jeannettasills1117]

I love that song and it was made for him to sing! Tracy Lawrence has that tone of voice that no other singer has which really makes the song stand out! The same for "Texas Tornado" & "Time Marches On"! You are country All the way Tracy Lawrence!!!

[@scottmichaels12]

As a 17 year old at the time who thought he was too cool for country, 90's country music is what brought so many of us back to country music... and Tracy Lawrence was a big part of it.

[@thomaskvalevog7168]

i could listen to him sing all day and night

[@libertyforamericanow]

Damn buddy, what a live performance!

[@laurasirmon7605]

I love this song Paint Me A Birmingham. It reminds me of the house on the edge of town that I lived in when I lived in Foreman, Arkansas back in the 90's.Tracy was having his concert's there back then. It was so much fun going to his concerts. I enjoyed it very much. I also got to meet him and have a picture taken with him. I remember what he said to me. He told me to take care of myself. I told him that I would. Or I might have said Okay. I am a huge fan of Tracy's. I miss you Tracy.

[@DougHinVA]

You were fortunate indeed. My cousin played pedal steel on the road for most of the top acts (Marty Robbins, Jimmy Dickens, etc.) and once told me of Glenn Campbell that he was just like us except that he was a regular guy with huge talent. And the country boy act on his TV series was showbiz that audiences liked and his publicity handlers encouraged it to build/keep viewers....

[@64wing]

I spent the last two full days listening to this while working. Took me the whole time to learn how he was doing the vocal trill. Figured it out at 15k feet over southern Michigan 😂 and by golly, I'll be listening to it again tomorrow morning! What a classic song 😭

[@BenjaminMilesPerry]

Time def did not march on for this dude! Solid country gold coming outta my speaker. Sounds as good as he did when he burst out on the scene way back when

[@joshcook4566]

This is an all time great song. The way country music is supposed to sound. Such a good story too. Which sadly does not happen often enough now.

[@J.Chapman-Drums]

That intro gets me every time. Wonderful song, fantastic singer. Tracy Lawrence, one of the very best!

[@1BeautifulKarma]

I could listen to this all day, every day

[@maganpugh3627]

7hyok

[@joemcginnis3487]

+Magan Bradshaw I've been to his concert

[@m.leannapeterkin684]

....and I have been today:)

[@1BeautifulKarma]

***** 😊 isn't he awesome?!

[@m.leannapeterkin684]

Absolutely such a beautiful song- his voice plays it perfectly:) Those notes- those words- that feel...:)

[@jrlomy2k]

This is my absolute favorite TL song. Years later, the man can still sing the dickens out of a song, and still looks hot doing it.

[@hobiecat901]

And He Nails it. Excellent.

[@TeresaHWard]

Tracy, this is my favorite Song. Way to go.

[@welshangela6715]

In response to an old post about auto tune.... When God gives a person the gift of a singing voice, there is no shame in adding to it and making it even more grand and special for people to hear. There is so much more to singing than the perfection of the words coming out. The words most always come from life experiences, experiencing tragedy, love and heartache deep within our soul. and thats where the healing comes. Weve been given the voice and answered to the calling to minister to people with that voice, and then the instruments are added. I couldnt bear to imagine no music which would mean the use of instruments wouldnt be present. It's no different than adding sparkles to a picture or painting that a young child creates. It just makes it even more beautiful! We shall be grateful that people are following.and using their God given talent for all to enjoy. May all who use their voice for God's glory be Blessed and carry on until their last breath!

[@codyyoung4236]

When the grand ol opry was country music. Great song and singer

[@gregorydryden7865]

this has to be one of the most skillfully written and artfully sung country songs ever. the analogies provoke the imagination and gives the sad nature of the song a beautiful twist.

[@dondemmeljr1765]

You are so right grade analogies what a picture of a story fantastic

[@themoosehillclimb8829]

One of my favorite country artists of all time! His songs held true to the roots of country and his lyrics told a story.

[@robertbosnyak9680]

The last great American country music storyteller.

[@Bshust]

Holy shit what a great live performance!

[@rosecampos9911]

Ur still so!! Handsome love ❤️ ur voice ❤️😱

[@sharondyer579]

I could (and AM) watch this over and over and over again!

[@DougHinVA]

...and I have watched it repeatedly and I grew up watching young 'miss Dolly' and Flatt and Scruggs on B&W TV as a kid in the home of real country in east Tennessee.

[@thomaskelly8571]

I know everything changes ...but not always for the better. I want my country music back!

[@TeresaHWard]

Tracy this is my favorite song, wish someone felt that way again. Yo a Great Country Singer and I lov your Songs. Keep it up friend.

[@bonitaperkins3822]

He is the best country singer ❤ I have ever heard ❤ in my life 🎵 keep up the good work Trace sing in the world with your fans

[@macesystevenson5150]

Tracy is one of the best singers.ive loved him from beginning.and never forgot him

[@JPo.404]

From Mt Juliet Tennessee. My mom got to cut his hair a few of the times he dipped into her shop many years back. He layed low which one can respect. It's one of her fondest memories haha she said he was a total gentleman and he would show up in overalls 😂 ol country boy

[@johndixon6221]

283 thumbs down. Why post anything? This is a memorable beautiful song written and recorded for our pleasure. Why not just pass by and not leave your footprint here?

[@williambrewer2863]

❤The words, his passion as he sings and the soft fiddle 🎻! Just PERFECT!

[@williambrewer2863]

I stated before but it's just PERFECTION in motion, Tracy's voice, a soft fiddle, harmony, and of course the lyrics sung from his heart!

[@240LTS]

... “Birmingham is a style of lake house… it’s got the porch going all the way around, man. If you’ve listened to it since then, it makes more sense. That was one of the magical things about that song because it can have multiple meanings. Obviously, the people living in Alabama though it was about Birmingham and the people that are architecturally knowledgeable know that it’s about a style of house. But it was really about longing to be back with that person that you missed being with, and you know you messed up, and that time and place is gone forever… you just want that back.” .

[@sheilalangley]

I was Blessed enough to meet this Fine Man at Rome River Jam a few yrs back..Here it is "2020" and with everything going on "Corona Virus" He still getting listened to..

[@bonitaperkins3822]

[@m.leannapeterkin684]

My sentiments exactly.

[@SMOKINJOE2898]

Don’t know if he is still in TL’s band or not but his acoustic guitar player is a helluva harmony singer.

[@GuitarNTheCar]

Mr Lawrence is the man.

[@TeresaHWard]

Wonderful Mr. Lawrence and Band..

Back when life was still simple. Country music was heartfelt, before corona, before e mail, internet, texting, twitter, cell phones, facebook, 911. What a wonderful time it was.

[@dixiedoo5876]

I miss those days! What a time to be young. 👍😊
