Country music icon Randy Travis and his wife, Mary Travis, recently joined Katie Neal inside our Nashville studios to talk about his enduring legacy, and the new album, Same Old Way, now available everywhere.
LISTEN NOW: Randy and Mary Travis
Discussing Randy's first full-length album of original music in over 18 years, Mary explains how producers excavated recorded tracks from the vault, spanning over 30 years, from Randy's late 20s to early 50s prior to his stroke.
"It covered a whole big career,” explains Mary. “It wasn't just a space and time in an artist's career, but it was a good 30 years."
The new 12-track project encompasses Gospel, Country, Blues, and more, with Mary sharing personal emotional connections to tracks like "They CalIed It A Church", which evokes memories of growing up in country churches in Texas and North Carolina.
Reflecting on Randy's post-stroke journey and health battles, Mary shares that “"Randy's always been kind of the one that, well, every setback is really a setup if you look at it the right way. That's the way he came out of this stroke.”
