February 20, 2007 — Tracy Lawrence fans who pick up his new album, For the Love, will find a very special version of his current single, "Find Out Who Your Friends Are," in addition to the one they've probably already heard on the radio.
Tracy recruited two of his famous friends, Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney, to sing the song with him in the studio and included it as a bonus track on the record. Tracy tells Dial-Global that once he found the right song, it only took a phone call to get them on board:
"We've all talked about doing something together for a long time," Tracy says, "and this just seemed like the perfect song. They actually came in the studio and we all did it together, which was real cool. Nobody else had anything to do with it. I set it all up, called the engineers and said 'be there at this time.' I got them both set up to come in and [music exec James] Stroud was like, "You pulled it off, baby. Get 'er done.'"
The radio version of "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" is currently climbing the charts.
