Travis Tritt Promises A New Album Later This Year
From the realm of news to get your country music pants going crazy, Travis Tritt just “Travis T guarantee’d!” that he will have a new album later this year. A new album from a beloved artist is exciting enough. But from Travis Tritt, it’s exceptional, especially if it’s a studio album. It’s been since 2007 and Tritt’s album The Storm that he’s released new studio music, not including multiple live records in recent years, a compilation, and a few contributions to the works of others. That puts Tritt at or near the top of active country artists who’ve racked up a decade plus between studio projects.
But that’s not all to be excited about. In a missive posted by Tritt on Instagram, as part of the process of recording and releasing the new record, he’s been co-writing with country music dynamic duo Brent Cobb and Adam Hood—the combination behind some great country songs over the last few years. “This writing session today with Brent Cobb and Adam Hood was next level!” Tritt said. “You’ll be hearing some or all of this stuff on my new album later this year.“
The timing couldn’t be better for Travis Tritt to deliver new music. Just last week, Tritt returned to the country radio charts for the first time in 13 years due to the debut single from Dierks Bentley’s silly, 90’s-inspired side project Hot Country Knights called “Pick Her Up.” The song is being heavily promoted to country radio, and is likely to do very well in the coming months.
Travis Tritt also received renewed attention last year after he appeared as a judge on the USA Network singing competition Real Country. Still a strong touring name either with his band or with his world-famous acoustic shows, Tritt’s return to the studio comes at a time when 90’s country is receiving a resurgence in interest (hence the Dierks Bentley alternate persona), and legacy names like Tanya Tucker are enjoying second waves in their careers.
More information on the new Travis Tritt record when it becomes available.

This is great news and I really like the fact that it looks like something that a lot of effort is going into and not just rushing something out there because he is about to get some press with the new Dierks song. Writing with Brent and Adam make me feel as though it should be high quality. Travis has as good a voice as their is out there. I also think producing new music is important for Travis’s legacy. I think when it comes to him getting closer to Hall of Fame consideration, it helps that you are still having an output of music. Marty Stuart has literally put himself more in the discussion based primarily from his non-commercial output compared to his prime commercial years.

Fantastic!
And, i’m betting Travis will do everything in his power to actually get this album out around the time he said.
Unlike some, who seemingly try and build suspense, excitement, & anticipation, and not deliver.
Ahem …

I imagine this is a long shot, but are any of the albums in that collection remastered? I normally like the sound of ‘90s country albums as they aren’t generally compressed all to hell like most music is nowadays, but Country Club has always sounded pretty rough to me in terms of fidelity. The rest are fine, but I’ve always thought that one could use an update.

Often an underrated talent. Love him!

A great guitar player and even greater vocalist.

Travis has the ability to singularly come out with the next Red Headed Stranger. Take his guitar and head into the studio and be a rebel, cementing himself as the truest of the outlaw’s going forward.

I went to see Travis Tritt, CDB and Cadillac 3 last summer, but it got rained out with no return date promised 🙁

Who ever would’ve guessed back in 1994 that Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith would become decades’-long country music–and American entertainment–superstars, and Travis Tritt and Clint Black would have their faces on the backs of milk cartons.

I love milk.

Wonderful news. Hopefully this sudden resurgence will awaken another dormant 90s country star who, while still touring, hasn’t had a new album in 12 years. Who am I talking about? John Michael Montgomery. His last record was in 2008. Be nice to see new material from him, another “real” country artist.

Sorry Danny but the JMM show you seen was lip synced. I’ve been onstage and watched with disgust as soundman started tape. There were notes he couldn’t come close to anymore. I hate to say it but at least Travis really sings !

What a voice. Whenever I’m on the road listening to music on shuffle on my iPod (yea, I still use an iPod) and a Travis song comes on, I’m a happy camper.
February 7, 2020 @ 4:50 pm
So I suppose this means the music Travis said he was working on circa 2014 with Marty Stuart is never going to see the light of day?

Awesome Gifted Travis Tritt slowing down don’t come easy

I saw Travis a few years back at a local arena and he put on one hell of a show! Lots of energy and his voice was just as good as ever. Instead of taking a break between sets, he gave the rest of the band a break and did an acoustic solo set.
