Tradition Lives


Tradition Lives is a 2016 studio album by American country music singer Mark Chesnutt. It was released in 2016 on Nada Dinero Records.

Content

The album includes the track "There Won't Be Another Now", a cover of a Merle Haggard song from his 1985 album Kern River. Chesnutt had recorded the song several years prior and had not intended for it to be an album, but chose to include it because the album had been released shortly after Haggard's death.

Critical reception

Giving it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote to "Throughout the album, Chesnutt keeps things simple, spare, and easy, keeping the focus on the song and the instrumental interplay -- the very things that make for great country, of which this is proudly part of that long tradition."
