Lord Tracy is a hard rock group originating from the United States, established in 1985.
History
The band initially consisted of Kinley "Barney" Wolfe, formerly the bassist for Black Oak Arkansas, drummer Chris Craig, and guitarist Jimmy Rusidoff. In 1986, Terry Glaze—previously with Pantera—joined as the lead singer. Their first album, Deaf Godz of Babylon, was launched in late 1989 under UNI/MCA Records. The album’s leading track, "Out with the Boys," attained the No. 40 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. Additionally, the ballad "Foolish Love" garnered some recognition. While commercial success was limited, the record stood out for its witty lyrics and eclectic inspirations ranging from Beastie Boys to Motörhead. After touring extensively between 1989 and 1991, the band parted ways in mid-1991.
Following this, bassist Kinley Wolfe toured with The Cult from 1991 through 1994. Subsequently, he collaborated with guitarist Mark Christian to form Milk The Cow, releasing their first album in 1996. Upon returning to Texas, Wolfe led The American Fuse, a Dallas-based trio that produced One Fell Swoop in 1997. More recently, he has performed with The Javelinas.
In 2004, Lord Tracy regrouped and began performing intermittently across Texas, Arizona, Mexico, Brazil, and Spain. In 2006, Brian Harris took over guitar duties from Jimmy Rusidoff, who rejoined the band in 2013. The group released Porn Again in 2008 and continued to tour sporadically. In 2010, Patrick "Taz" Bentley of Burden Bros. substituted on drums for a Dallas appearance; this collaboration eventually led to forming a new band named 76 that focused on original compositions distinct from Lord Tracy’s catalog.
On April 6, 2013, the founding members headlined Basement Reunion #5 at Trees in Dallas. They also appeared at The Stage Stop in Memphis on April 13, 2013, and returned for two final performances in February 2018 before the venue’s closure—a site cherished by longtime supporter Nita Makris.
