Tracy proves himself yet again to be the ultimate country singer with a wide variety of straight country music. Tracy has always been able to go from fun to serious without effort. On this album, Tracy shows he's got a sense of humor and is not afraid to pick a little fun at the way we live with songs like, Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous and Pink Flamingos. Even a country fried love song like Redneck Roses (co-written by Byrd and Byron Hill who also co-wrote Lifestyles and Strait's Fool Hearted Memory) shows a little bit of this.
Byrd shows his true diversity by including one of the most popular love songs and strongest male vocalist ballads of the decade, the No.1 Hit The Keeper of The Stars.
And of course, we can't forget one of everybody's favorite two-step songs The First Step which kicks the album off.
Produced by Jerry Crutchfield (also produced LeDoux), it's no wonder we got one of the best Rodeo songs of all time, No Ordinary Man. Co-written by Bryd, this song still stands today right along with LeDoux's best stuff and shows Byrd's appreciation for rodeo and rodeo athletes. The strength of Tracy's voice is evident during the breakdown of this song where he carries it a capello.
This is a solid album all the way through as we have come to expect from Bryd. Like his debut album, this one also makes our Best 100 of All Time list.

The song "Keeper of The Stars" says it all about the feelings and love my fiance and I have for each other. We truly believe "someone had a hand in it, long before we ever knew." We are getting married this June and will be having "Keeper" as our First Dance. My fiance "tips his hat to the "Keeper of The Stars." Tracy, Thank YOU so much, for playing such an important part in our Wedding.
This is an excellent album. I have owned this one before and bought another copy
because I wore out the first one. Tracy Byrd is one of my favorite country artists.
Keeper of the Stars is a song that reflects on my own love story...it is so true and brings tears to my eyes!! I love the album..way to go Tracy!!!
