"Big Love" is a song written by Jeff Stevens and Michael Clark, and recorded by American country music artist Tracy Byrd. It was released in September 1996 as the lead-off single and title track from his album of the same name. It peaked at number 3 in the United States, and number 5 in Canada. The song was previously recorded in 1994 by Chris LeDoux from his album Haywire, and released as the b-side to his single "Dallas Days and Fort Worth Nights."
Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorable by saying that "the groove-oriented introduction of this song kicks off its big-sounding production, and Byrd's voice delivers the lyric with buoyant enthusiasm. He also stated that the song shows that Byrd is delivering radio-ready material that will fare well on the radio.[3]
The music video was directed by Gerry Wenner and was filmed in Denver, Colorado, Winter Park, Colorado and just east of Winter Park on west Rollins Pass.
