Randy Travis will release his first album of original music in over 18 years. Travis shared the news during a recent visit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.
Kyle Lehning, Travis’ longtime producer, assembled, remixed and remastered tracks from throughout his career. The first single from the record, “Fish On,” will be available on Friday (July 10).
“Sharing the love of music for decades with listeners of all ages has been an honor of mine. I feel extremely blessed. Earlier this week, as we announced my new album and played some of the songs for the children and families at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, I was reminded of my reason for doing it. Gratitude and appreciation welled up as emotions I didn’t expect when stories were shared about a particular song’s impact on their lives. I hope these dusted-off songs from the vault touch folks the same old way,” shares Travis with help from his wife, Mary.
After the tour of St. Jude Children’s, Travis and Alexandra Kay met with patients and families to preview the recordings for the first time. Kay performed Travis’ No. 1 hits “Forever and Ever, Amen,” “I Told You So” and “Deeper Than The Holler.”
This fall, Travis will wrap his More Life Tour with dates in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, Colorado, New England, Texas and more.
