Tracy Lawrence Thinks The ’90s Will End Up Being Like Classic Rock For Country Music: “It’s Gonna Be The Go-To Era”

Could the ’90s country era really be far enough in the past to be considered “classic” at this point?

Tracy Lawrence certainly thinks so, and considering the fact that he had plenty of hits himself in that decade, I feel like we’ve got to hear him out on this one. The 90s country legend sat down with us on the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to discuss his own venture into podcasting, why the 90’s era of music is as popular as ever, his songs getting a second life on TikTok, his passion for giving back to the less fortunate, and much more.

And at one point during our conversation with a fellow podcaster, Lawrence threw out a comparison that both stopped us right in our tracks and likely made a lot of people feel really old. But ultimately, the comparison that he presented did make a lot of sense.

Before he alluded to another popular era of music, he touched on how much he appreciates that 90s country seems to resonate with younger country music fans:

“It’s amazing to me how it’s transcended this new generation. There are a lot of young people that are really getting into traditional country music. The ’90s, I’ve always looked at the ’90s like our era is gonna be like what classic rock is to the rock and roll format. It’s kind of gonna be the go-to era. And we bleed back into some of the ’80s stuff too.”
