Lord Tracy is a hard rock band formed in 1985.

Lord Tracy originally consisted of bassist Kinley "Barney" Wolfe, drummer Chris Craig and guitarist Jimmy Rusidoff. Terry Glaze, formerly of Pantera, joined in 1986 as lead vocalist. Their first album, Deaf Gods of Babylon, was released in the fall of 1989 on UNI Records / MCA.[1] The album's lead single, "Out With The Boys," reached No. 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.[2] A ballad, "Foolish Love," was the album's follow up single. Although the Deaf Gods Of Babylon album failed to sell many copies, it remains a notable release for its use of humor and its diverse influences, ranging from Beastie Boys to Motörhead.[3] Following the release of Deaf Gods, the band toured extensively from 1989–1991 and broke apart while on the road in the summer of 1991.

In 2004, Lord Tracy reunited and has since played a limited number of shows per year in Texas, Arizona, Mexico, Brazil and Spain.[4] Guitar player Brian Harris replaced Jimmy Rusidoff in 2006. Lord Tracy continues to be creatively active and released the album Porn Again in 2008.

Between 2008 and 2010, Lord Tracy would play off and on throughout the south and mid west. In 2010, Lord Tracy, was billed to play the House of Blues in Dallas. All members were on board but one....Chris Craig(drums). Chris was already booked to play in Nashville on the same night. Not wanting to cancel such a big show and homecoming. Lord Tracy started to look for someone to fill-in for Chris. Kinley knew someone that he had played with before. So not to miss a big show, Terry and Brian agreed to play with Kinley's friend. That friend turned out to be Patrick "Taz" Bentley, who was one of the founding members of the band the Burden Bros. Taz had also played with the Rev. Horton Heat and was also playing with Izzy Stradlin of Guns N' Roses. After the House of Blues show, all members were overwhelmed by the chemistry. Taz wanting to continue playing with Lord Tracy, but not being Chris' replacement and Terry, Kinley and Brian not wanting to replace Chris. Lord Tracy would change their name, first to the Pinches Bolillos and then to 76. Lord Tracy would remain Lord Tracy and 76, with 3 members being from Lord Tracy, would not play any Lord Tracy songs, but would start writing and recording their own music. Chris Craig was not or will not be replaced.

On Saturday, April 6 the original line-up of Lord Tracy with Terry Glaze, Kinley Wolfe, Jimmy Rusidoff and Chris Craig performed as the headline act at the Basement Reunion #5 at Trees in Dallas, Texas. The original line-up also played The Stage stop in Memphis, Tennessee on April 13, 2013.
