Travis delivers with new country album
By Don Weberg

The thing that sets Randy Travis apart
from other country-western singers is his style.
He has a classic twang in his voice that
these songs are meant to have.
His songs are honest, clean, country music.
He doesn't gussy up the music with a lot
of rock 'n' roll hype like other performers in his arena do.
His songs don't need it.
Travis knows country-western music and
his latest compact disc, "A Man Ain't Made of Stone" demonstrates his talent
well.
Of the 12 songs on the disc, four are fast
paced (such as "Little Bitty Crack in Her Heart") while the others are
for lonely hearts and lovers ("Family Bible and The Farmer's Almanac.")
Part of the beauty of Travis' CD's are
the variety of music that he seems to put into each one.
Some of his songs are heart-filled, tear
jerkers while the others are just fun dance hits.
"A Man Ain't Made Of Stone" seems to be
one of first albums heard from Travis that is mainly heart-filled tunes.
However, in terms of heart-wrenchers, country-western
music is always there to deliver.
And no one can perform quite as well as
Travis. Rest assured, the album will not disappoint but be prepared
to have the heart strings played with. |
