12. Travis Tritt

Bob Kingsley (1997): Travis Tritt says: "If there is one thing that I have learnt in my lifetime, its the older you get, the smarter you get.

Bob Kingsley (1989): This is a quiet unassuming young fellow who's raw talent personifies what real country music is all about. His first album was released in the spring of '86 and the sensive tradition in the songs that he chose is so true and so timeless that it makes a lot of other music pale by comparison. The name of the album is "Storms of life", but for Randy Travis, there's still not a cloud in site.
