10. Strong Enough 

“As usual a very interesting album from Travis Tritt, which this time focuses on a country/folk sound more intense than usual for the artist. Violin, dobro and acoustic guitars accompany each track, and it is a very pleasant album to listen to while traveling. Great”

9. The Restless Kind 

“Figured I’d have to give a reason for this one being much lower than his previous three releases, and I love traditional country like the next person. However, he’s spent so long promoting his outlaw image and this cottony-soft country ballad album is a very awkward departure from his self-proclaimed “roots of rock”.”

8. No More Looking Over My Shoulder 

“If you like the upbeat Sound of Southern Rock and Country with a mix of power ballads this album is for you. This album contains the classic “Start The Car” which was redone great by Travis. If you like rebel music you’ll like “Girls Like That”, “No More Looking Over My Shoulder”, “Tougher Than The Rest” and “Rough Around The Edges”. For Your Ballads there’s “If I Lost You”, “For You”, And “All The Man”. Great CD, He Just Keeps Doing It. Very Addictive!”

7. My Honky Tonk History 

“”My Honky Tonk History,” Tritt’s third outing for Sony Nashville Records, is Tritt’s usual modus operandi at peak performance: rousing guitars, booming drums, incessant fiddling all performed in the name of southern rock. Right in the opening lines of the title cut “Honky Tonk History,” Tritt patriotically swears allegiance to the rough and rowdy lifestyle: “I got these calluses from all those nights spent playing a Telecaster, `til my fingers led Bud Light.” Partnering with country music’s most prominent redneck woman, Gretchen Wilson (one of the three writers on this track) on backing vocals, “Too Far Gone to Turn Around” is Tritt’s apology for his wild behavior.”

6. Down The Road I Go 

“Travis’ 1st album for Columbia turned out to be his best in years. You get tender ballads (the #1 smash “Best Of Intentions”), fun songs, funky songs and two that Travis wrote with the legendary Charlie Daniels (If The Fall Don’t Kill you & Sothbound Train). Very enjoyable album.”

5. Greatest Hits – From The Beginning 

“This compilation covers the early nineties, which were also the most successful years that Travis had. He sang two main types of songs – heart wrenching ballads and hard rocking songs, both of which are well represented here. The rocking songs include Put some drive in your country, The whiskey ain’t working (with Marty Stuart), Country club and Trouble, a cover of the Elvis Presley hit. Among the ballads here are Here’s a quarter call someone who cares, Help me hold on, Tell me I was dreaming and a cover of the fifties classic Only you and you alone.”

4. Country Club 

“The album opens with the top ten country hit, Country club, but also contains the #2 hit, Help me hold o, and the #1 country hit, I’m gonna be something, as well as the minor hit, Put some drive in your country, in which Travis discusses his influences and indicates a clear preference for country music with a rock music influence. Given that, it is perhaps surprising that there are so many ballads here, but my feeling is that those are what he is best suited to. Away from the hits, I particularly like Sign of the times and Drift off to dream, but all the songs here are great.”

3. Ten Feet Tall & Bulletproof 

“On the album Travis wrote 6 of the tracks. Travis gets solo credits for the best two tracks on the album, the title track and opener “Ten Foot Tall and Bulletproof” and the chart topping classic country ballad “Foolish Pride”. Travis doesn’t get much credit for his songwriting and really is so much more than the southern-style rocker he is often written off as. He is an excellent writer and has penned some gems over his career. The title track is great rocking honky tonk song, that is heavy on fiddle and bar room piano, you can almost smell the beer and smoke!”

2. It’s All About To Change 

“Travis Tritt is great, there aren’t many people who have such a range, masterfully singing everything from ballads and classic country to rocking country. He is one of the few who truly has emotion in his voice, highly recommend this cd and any of his to anyone who appreciates talent from a musician.”

1. T-R-O-U-B-L-E 

“Travis has a raw energy and an ability to play with the lyrics in his phrasing, giving his music a fresh and immediate quality. He is a one-of-a-kind singer/songwriter in many ways, and one of the very best. The booklet insert has all the song lyrics and recording info, and for the gals who like a rough-hewn type of guy, lots of photos of the terrific Mr. Tritt. Hatless. You won’t catch this country boy in a cowboy hat. How’s that for unique !”
