Tracy Lawrence could summarize his career in the past year in a few words ... new and different. The singer landed his first part in a film and was then asked to do the soundtrack for the flick, called "L.A. Dirt." In it, Tracy plays "Uncle Charlie" to his young nephew, "Ty Hargrove," portrayed by Michael Roark. Ty's one ambition is dirt-track racing, but his challenges include not having much money to do so and also going up against a rich hot-shot boy who is as determined as he is to win on the racetrack. The film was shot around Mobile, Ala.

"I completed filming the movie last June, and then they decided to shoot some other scenes so there is still no word when it will come out," Tracy tells The Boot. "The director was great to work with and now he hired my production company to do the score for the movie. He's sending us a few scenes at a time and we've been working on music for them as we get them.
