ALTON - Tracy Inman has finally found his voice. The country singer-songwriter has written lyrics his entire life, but it wasn’t until three years ago that he started to record his music. Now, one of his songs was considered for a Grammy, he’s playing at venues across the region, and he can’t wait to see what’s next for the music he loves to make. “That’s very, very awesome to know that people are listening to it. That’s huge. You can’t ask for anything more than that,” Inman said. “Success depends on how you judge it. I judge success based on people listening. I don’t judge it monetarily. I’m not naive enough to think I’m going to be opening for major acts and stuff like that. But I do believe that my songs are good enough that someone will record them. What makes me happiest is that people listen to them.” Inman released his first album, “It’s About Time,” on all streaming
