PENNYCAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR3:11$0.9919. Those who say Gregg has lost touch with tradition need to listen to Don’t Call Home, co-written by Gregg. From Victoria’s Secret, a deceptively simple Gregg-penned tribute to the inner beauty of women, to Tornado, the hard rockin’, comical story of trouble in a trailer park, this album ranges from southern rock, to stone cold traditional country, to contemporary country pop.

A second album, titled Get a Little Closer, was released on Liberty in 1994, with its title track being the only single.

One year later, Gregg"s manager, Jimmy Bowen, retired due to thyroid cancer. By 2001, his third album, titled Careful What You Wish For, was released on the then-newly established independent label Rowe Music Group (RMG).

His earliest influences were gospel and country. But when it comes down to the facts, the facts are that Ricky Lynn Gregg loves country music, and country music is very lucky to have Ricky Lynn Gregg.
