Tracy Byrd "Ten Rounds" Album - RCA Records 2001 "Ten Rounds of Jose Cuervo" transcribed by Bryan Williams [email protected] This is the title track from Byrd's latest album. It is by far his best display of talent and maturity. It probably won't get the respect and air time that his earlier albums did, but neither did his last album "It's About Time". This song is very easy and would be a great beginner song for those just learning to play. Learn this one and play it at all your gigs, it'll be just as common as "Margaritaville" in 20 years, and will probably take the place of "Watermelon Crawl" as the crowd's favorite.
