10. Outlaws Like Us (Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof, 1994)
“Travis Tritt has had an amazing career, but Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof I would have to say best shows the outlaw, southern rock side of Travis. Hank Jr and Waylon Jennings star on “Outlaws Like Us” trading vocals about their thoughts on music. It’s a classic.”
9. Country Club (Country Club, 1990)
“Country Club,” the first single and title track from Tritt’s 1990 album of the same name, was the world’s introduction to the music of Travis Tritt. The song was an instant hit, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and was primed for the bar jukebox, an uptempo story song about a man trying to woo a high-status woman by insisting that he, too, is part of the “country club.”
8. Out of Control Raging Fire (Patty Loveless’ ‘Mountain Soul, 2001)
“Love this, Patty can harmonize with anyone and it sounds terrific, such a great singer. Travis is amazing and a true real country singer who does not get the recognition he so deserves, great musician as well. He knows what a country song should sound like. Great song, love the mandolin as well.”

7. Same Old Train (Tribute To Tradition, 1998)
“There is nothing to compare to all the great voices and legends that perform in this song. Lots are no longer with us, but there memory and legends through song will live on in our hearts forever. Awesome song…Like life…Same Old Train…Just a different time.”
6. Bible Belt (It’s All About to Change, 1991)
“Bible Belt” is one of the fastest, loudest, hardest rocking songs in Tritt’s oeuvre. That’s probably in part because he teamed up with the blues-jazz-funk-rock fusion band Little Feat for the recording. The song wasn’t released as a single but still became a well-known track, as it was featured in the movie My Cousin Vinny.”
5. Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde (Down the Road I Go, 2000)
“There are a lot of songs about riding in a car with a girl,but only a couple are ballads.Even fewer are ballads with the girl being more powerful than the driver,and this is the only one where there is both a start and an end to the story,not a case of ‘How did it start?’ or ‘How did it end?’.”

4. Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man (T-R-O-U-B-L-E, 1992)
“Travis Tritt tells it like it is. This should be the song for the government a all the poor working men that’s trying so hard to be responsible enough to wanna take care of themselves s their families. Too many rich people trying to take what the poor man working to make.”
3. The Whiskey Ain’t Workin (It’s All About to Change, 1991)
“With Travis and Marty, you have a classic country song. They duo so well together. Their energy makes country music a must listen. I remember when Travis played with Marty Stuart, they were fun to watch and to listen to. They put on one hell of a show!!!”
2. Here’s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) (It’s All About to Change, 1991)
“Classic & iconic REAL Country song. I could listen to this one every day & never get tired of it. When this song first came out, I imagine a LOT of guys were yelling: “Yeah! Sing it brother !””
1. It’s a Great Day to Be Alive (Down the Road I Go, 2000)
“I remember when this song was released… Has been one of my favorite songs ever since. Never fails to bring a smile to my face. I’ve gone thru some tough times since first hearing this song and it’s right in saying there’s some hard times, but it truely IS a great day to be alive.”
