IndiePro Comments: John Tracy delivers easy-going, laid-back relaxed compositions with a country/folk/bluesy feel. His lyrics are sincere, and are sung with compassion and conviction. A definite tribute to his influences, John’s music has an air of familiarity, yet he provides the listener with a comfortable space between the musical past and present.

“The gospel based "My God is Bigger" and "the mystery of God" feature John shining on his sophisticated acoustic guitar work. "Officer of the Law" has the moody & mysterious quality reflecting the duties and the honor of our nation's law enforcement. And the album is capped with the compelling title track "Break the Chain"; a heart-awakening and moving up-beat tune about going beyond our upbringing and opening the heart. John's deep & all-embracing understanding of the family & social life of our nation is wonderfully captured in this strong & solid album.” - Mark Micklich
We were very pleased with John Tracy’s concert. John is a well rounded performer. He plays his acoustic guitar finger-style...providing a broad and solid foundation for his original songs. He writes positive songs of life and love. His songs vary considerably in style and tempo, so that his concert doesn’t drag or fall into a rut. He was fun and interesting and had a distinct change up on each tune. I would say he’s put some thought into his performance lineup. We will definitely have John back.
