Randy Travis Releasing New Album Next Month
. Dropping Aug. 19, Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am is a new 13-song collection of Travis recordings. The set focuses on classic country songs that have made an impact on him over the years. It arrives less than a year after the similarly themed Influence Vol. 1: The Man I Am, which was released last fall. "We had such a great time putting together Influence Vol. 1, but there were still so many musical heroes of yesteryear that I learned from and wanted to honor," Travis said in a press statement. "We had no choice but to release a second volume. The 'Influence' that the older, great ones had on me, and the 'Influence' that I may, somehow, have on the ones that come along after me, is God's way of allowing us to pay it forward. It is my prayer answered - and, His will done - it is what makes me, 'the man I am.'" Among the tracks on Influence: Vol. 2 are the Hank Snow classic "I'm Moving On," Merle Haggard's "That's the Way Love Goes" and "Are the Good Times Really Over?" (the latter of which appears to have also held influence over Miranda Lambert on her recent single) and Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and "For the Good Times" (a song popularized by the late Ray Price). Influence Vol. 2 also includes a solo version of "Tonight I'm Playing Possum," a song Travis released last year as a duet with Joe Nichols in tribute to George Jones.
