Sticks and Stones (Tracy Lawrence album)
Sticks and Stones is the debut studio album by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It was released on November 12, 1991 by Atlantic Records. It produced four singles: the title track, "Today's Lonely Fool", "Runnin' Behind", and "Somebody Paints the Wall", which peaked at #1, #3, #4, and #8, respectively, on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts between 1991 and 1993. The track "Paris, Tennessee" was later recorded by Dennis Robbins (one of the co-writers) on his 1992 album Man with a Plan and by Kenny Chesney on his 1995 album All I Need to Know. "Somebody Paints the Wall" was previously recorded by Josh Logan on his 1988 album of the same name, from which it was released as a single that year. Track listing
