Author: Travis, Randy

Details: Review To be consistent is not necessarily to be predictable. This CD is warm, ingratiating and always melodious. It comes closer to rocking than most Travis albums do. All 12 tracks on this album reward repeat listening, but Kent Robbins and John Jarrad's "Only Worse" is a radio-worthy highlight, as is the lively "The Hole." -- People Amazon.ca Though his press kit comes with a slew of TV and film credits, Travis's strength is his voice, which is timeless, warm, and tender--perfect for wrapping around the country melodies he so aptly writes. This is the 13th album in a career that has probably already seen its heights, as the new country he helped kick-start now seems disconnected from its Nashville roots while Randy prefers the fiddle- and croon-heavy sounds of the past. While Randy Travis is unlikely to command the charts as he once did, You and You Alone is as solid and rewarding an album as he has ever recorded. All of his friends are here to help him out, including Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, and Dan Tyminski. The highlight of the album is "I Did My Part" with Patrick Swayze on backing vocal. While Travis is a better actor than Swayze is a singer, it's a delightful and wistful honky-tonk song that finds both artists looking back on their lives: "Will they think kindly of me / when they hear me say / I did my part?" --Tod Nelson
