Travis Tritt was one of the leading new country singers of the early
'90s, holding his own against Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan
Jackson. He was the only one not to wear a hat and the only one to dip
into bluesy Southern rock. Consequently, he developed a gutsy, outlaw
image that distinguished him from the pack. Throughout the early '90s,
he had a string of platinum albums and Top Ten singles, including three number one hits.
Tritt fell in love with music as a child, teaching himself how to play
guitar when he was eight and beginning to write songs when he was 14.
Travis was determined to have a musical career, but his parents didn't
encourage him to follow his instincts. His mother didn't mind that he
wanted to perform, but she wanted him to sing gospel; his father was
afraid there was no money in singing. When he was 18, he tried to settle
down, work, and have a family but was unsuccessful -- he was married
and divorced twice before he was 22. He continued to play music while
working various jobs, including one at an air-conditioning company. The
company's vice president was a guitarist who gave up hopes of a musical
career and urged Tritt to follow his dreams. Tritt quit his job and
began pursuing a career full-time.
In 1982, Tritt began his pursuit
by recording a demo tape at a private studio which was owned by Danny
Davenport, who happened to be an executive at Warner Brothers. Davenport
heard the vocalist's songs and was impressed, deciding to take Tritt
under his wing. For the next several years, the pair recorded demo tapes
while Tritt played the honky tonk circuit. The singer was developing a
distinctive sound, adding elements of country-rock and Southern rock to
his honky tonk.
Partway through in 1989, Warner Brothers' Nashville
division signed Tritt, and his debut album, Country Club, appeared in
the stores in the spring 1990. It was preceded by the Top Ten hit,
"Country Club." Upon the release of his debut album, Tritt entered the
first ranks of new country singers. His next two singles, "Help Me Hold
On" and "I'm Gonna Be Somebody," hit number one and two respectively.
"Put Some Drive in Your Country," which had a clear rock & roll
influence, stalled at number four, since radio programmers were
reluctant to feature such blatantly rock-derived music.
Tritt had a breakthrough success with his second album, 1991's It's All About to Change - went into multi-platinum territory.
T-r-o-u-b-l-e, Tritt's third album, was released in 1992-it had the
number one single, "Can I Trust You With My Heart," and went gold. Tritt
came back in 1994 with Ten Feet Tall & Bulletproof, which went
platinum, spawned the number one single "Foolish Pride," and marked his
highest position, number 20, on the pop charts. His 1995 compilation
Greatest Hits: From the Beginning went platinum within six months of its
November release. Restless Kind was released in 1996, followed two
years later by No More Looking Over My Shoulder; Down the Road I Go was
issued in fall 2000. Live in Concert appeared in 2007 from Big Bang
while later that same year Category 5 released a new studio effort from
Tritt called The Storm produced by the well known American Idol judge
and musician Randy Jackson.
Travis recently wrapped production on
the upcoming film “Fishers of Men” in which he portrayed the character
Eddie Waters. Film will be released late 2011.He is currently traveling
the country bringing energy packed shows that are not to be missed!
