He is a composer, blues pianist, singer-songwriter and winner of the Lila Wallace national award for chamber music composition, the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award for Music Composition, a Chicago Lifetime Achievement Award, and a place in the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame.

She is one of the few female singers who has had hit records in both blues and country genres, with Grammy nominations for both her country and blues efforts. Tracys signature song, Down So Low, has been covered by Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, Dee Warwick, and Cyndi Lauper. Her duet, After The Fire Is Gone," with mega-country star Willie Nelson, was nominated for a Grammy Award.
