Gracin splits with Lyric Street, releases song
Monday, May 4, 2009 – Josh Gracin is off Lyric Street. He made the announcement himself on his myspace page Friday. There had been rumors in recent months that the label and Gracin were splitting.
On his myspace page, Gracin said he had put the song Enough on his page. He produced it along with Dean Sams of Lonestar. "It's my first project without Lyric Street," Gracin said.
He enjoyed a bunch of hits with his debut, but his follow-up disc, "We Weren't Crazy," out last year, tanked. Only 1 of 5 singles - the title track - was higher than 19 on the charts.

Originally titled "All for Y'all," Gracin's second record was due in mid-2006, but Lyric Street delayed its release after the debut single fell flat on radio, pissing off ...
It's no surprise that Josh Gracin didn't come out of the gates on his self-titled debut album with guns a blazin'. Leaning heavily on Garth Brooks-like phrasing and songs that don't venture much beyond livin', lovin' and havin' a good time, remember that country music is still Gracin's second full-time job.
For those who missed it, Gracin is the U.S. Marine who made it to the final four of Fox's 2003 installment of American Idol. He's committed to the Corps until September and must juggle duty to ...
