His First Song After His Tragic Stroke
In 2019, Randy Travis dropped the classically themed “One In a Row” six years after his tragic health issues took his Hall of Fame voice from us.
Travis recorded the heartbreaking ballad before his devastating stroke in 2013, but it was never widely released. So it was certainly new to fans who’ve heard it for the first time. The song showcased Travis’ deep, velvety smooth, signature voice with the traditional country sound that has been the foundation of his career since 1986.
Following the song’s release, Travis also released his book, Forever and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of Life. It chronicles Travis’ working-class childhood, troubled youth full of drinking and stealing cars, country music career, medical problems, a broken marriage, and so much more. This is with the help of New York Times Best-Selling Author, Ken Abraham, and Travis’ wife, Mary Davis.
“Traditional country music was all I wanted to do — it’s all I knew how to do,” Randy Travis wrote his memoir.
