Atlantic Records recording artist Tracy Lawrence is currently completing the final touches on his new album, "Lessons Learned," which will be his first new studio album release in nearly three years.

"Lessons Learned," produced by Lawrence, Flip Anderson and Butch Carr, is a much-anticipated collection of songs reflecting Lawrence as a recording artist, as well as a person.

"Over the past few years, it's been clear that the best way for me to communicate about my life is through music," said Lawrence. "`Lessons Learned' is a true reflection of that, and is my most personal album to date."

Atlantic Records President/CEO Barry Coburn added: "I am extremely excited about the new Tracy Lawrence album. It is an amazing group of songs that displays great maturity. We are committed to having Tracy at the top of the charts."

"Lessons Learned" is scheduled for release in February 2000.

Sierra Game Works has also recently announced an innovative partnership with Lawrence -- the company's first ever with a country music artist -- in which the singer's music and image will be featured in the mid-October release of its "Professional Bull Rider" game. The game will feature a section in which viewers can learn more about Lawrence and "Lessons Learned."

Recently returning from a successful USO tour, Lawrence entertained the troops involved in the Kosovo effort at military bases in Northern Europe, the United Kingdom and Iceland. Bringing his own camera crew to film the concerts, Lawrence was able to document the one-of-a-kind tour. The footage will be used for several television specials in partnership with CBS Television-owned TNN.

Regarded by the Miami Herald as having the ability to bring to country music his "seamless way of bridging traditionalism and modernism," Lawrence first drew attention in 1991 with his highly acclaimed debut album, "Sticks & Stones." Since that time, Lawrence has captivated audiences with an almost unparalleled 17 No. 1 singles from his Platinum and multi-Platinum-selling albums that include "Alibis," "I See It Now," "Time Marches On" and "The Coast Is Clear."
