Tradition Lives is a 2016 studio album by American country music singer Mark Chesnutt. It was released in 2016 on Row Entertainment.
Content The album includes the track "There Won't Be Another Now", a cover of a Merle Haggard song from his 1985 album Kern River. Chesnutt had recorded the song several years prior and had not intended for it to be on an album, but chose to include it because the album had been released shortly after Haggard's death. "I've Got a Quarter in My Pocket" was first recorded by Gary Allan on his 1998 album It Would Be You.Multiple sources:
"Is It Still Cheating" was first recorded by Justin Haigh on his 2011 album People Like Me.Multiple sources:
Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote "Throughout the album, Chesnutt keeps things simple, spare, and easy, keeping the focus on the song and the instrumental interplay — the very things that make for great country, of which this is proudly part of that long tradition."
