AMG Review of I'm from the Country

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

With I'm from the Country, Tracy Byrd continues his streak of sturdy, well-crafted neo-traditionalist contemporary country. With each album, Byrd grows more confident in his delivery and choice of material, which naturally makes the albums stronger. There are still a couple of filler numbers on I'm from the Country, but the key to the record's success is that he takes pains in proving the title true -- and by the end of the record, you have no question that he is indeed from the country.
