A country traditionalist like Tracy Lawrence never goes out of style in Nashville, no matter what form of country music is hot at the moment. FOR THE LOVE continues Lawrence's string of honky-tonk winners with sardonic gems like the country-rocker "You Can't Hide Redneck" and tender ballads like "You're Why God Made Me." Lawrence, as always, is in strong voice, and the songwriting is consistently fine. Other highlights include the first single, "Find Out Who Your Friends Are," which bookends the album in two versions, the second a duet with Kenny Chesney minimize
