Turning a personal tragedy into a hit record is tricky, and not just for all the normal reasons that it's difficult to make a song into a hit. Artists who write a great personal song may be hesitant to record it for months or years.

I like every song that Trace sings, from "I Left Something Turned on at Home" to "Then They Do" to "Honky Tonk Badonk
