Tray At His Best Jul 26, 2001
By Lorraine L. Delano
I was lucky enough to see Tracy perform six of the songs from Ten Rounds in person. He was awesome and this is his best work ever. There are a lot of great songs Just Let Me Be In Love, Wildfire and many more. Of course Keeper Of The Stars is on it and that is my favorite song in the world. Tracy is the best, I know he has a winner on his hands.

His Best Album Yet Dec 17, 2001
This is one of Tracy Byrd's finest albums yet, I must admit I just bought it for the song "Just let me be in Love" but that is only one of the awesome songs on this album. I havent taken it out of my CD player since I got it. I was surprised to find that Kenny Chesney and Mark Chesnutt are also on this album, since they showed up in studio when Tracy was recording with a bottle of Tequila (hence the name "Ten Rounds"). The lyric and music quality is great and proves just how far Tracy Byrd has come in his career.

Tracy's 8th album is one of his best Jul 24, 2001
By E. Mullins
Tracy's 8th album, Ten Rounds, is one of the best albums in his career. Unlinke his last, it is also more radio-friendly with a great mixture of fun / uptemp songs and slower ballads. The sound on the album is more fresh than his recent albums. He sings all songs with a lot of energy and captures the feelings of songs such as the latin sounding 'ten rounds with jose cuervo' and the second single, 'just let me be in love'In my opinion, 'Somebody's Dream' is one of the coolest songs i have ever heard lyrically and musically. It is about the dreams of people, and how they can change quickly. The first single from the cd was 'A Good Way to get on my bad side' sung with Mark Chesnutt. It is a very rocking song. Summertime fever is also a very good Watermelon Crawl / I'm from the country type song. Great ballads include 'needed' and 'how much does the world weigh', which highlights struggles that people face in life. Mid Tempo songs include 'Crazy every time' 'tryin not to love you' and a great song about starting a new relationship in(If you let me fix your heart it's never gonna break again)'never gonna break again' This album also contains a remake of Michael Murphy's 'Wildfire' and a re-recording of Tracy's #1 hit 'The keeper of the stars'. Overall, a very enjoyable album from Tracy along the same lines as his , 'I'm From The Country' album instead of his last album, 'It's about time'

Better than the last! Aug 20, 2002
I love Tracy Byrds music and have from 1993's self titled album. He's got a real western swing/cowboy/traditional country sound. I love Somebodys's Dream it's a Chris LeDoux kind of Cowboy Rock swing song.
Ten Rounds is the Jimmy Buffet-esque party song you have to dance to.
His rendition Michael Martin Murphys wildfire is better than the original, and manlier too!
Summertime Fever is Watermelon Crawl-esque and I am not crazy about it.
A good Way to get on my Badside is a great in your face manly song to sing with your buddies.
The way I see it youve got 11 new songs and a better Keeper of the Stars.
I like 10 of the new songs and just bought his first album to get the Keeper of the Stars. So I am estatic about it all.
The only song I can't get excited about is Summertime Fever.

COUNTRY'S STILL ALIVE!!! Jul 18, 2002
By Neal C. Reynolds
There are a few still around trying to keep the country sound from being merged with pop pap, and Tracy Byrd's one of them. This is a really strong album. "Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo" is a natural party song, one ranks with Tom T Hall's "I Like Beer". Then at the other end of the stick, there's "Somebody's Dream", a truly serious type song that definitely works here. Then there's the duet with Mark Chesnutt, "A Good Way To Get On My Bad Side". Definitely enjoyable. I think I'd pick "Never Gonna Break Again" as my favorite here, but really, they're all good...well, maybe "Wildfire" was unnecessary, but other than that, there's hardly a song you'd want to skip here.
