Country music has had a long relationship with Tracy Lawrence, whose debut album, Sticks and Stones, dropped in the early ‘90s. The 51-year-old is kinda-sorta reinventing himself, however, on a forthcoming “very-country” new album, Made in America, which features eight songs written by Lawrence himself.

Tracy Lawrence. Fri., May 17. 10 p.m.. $26-$30. Dallas Bull, Tampa. dallasbull.com.
