Randy Travis

Randy Travis is, to my ear, one of the great traditionalist voices in country music. That deep, weathered baritone arrived in the mid-80s when the genre needed an anchor, and his back-to-back Grammy wins for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1987 and 1988 confirmed it wasn't a fluke. More than fifty charting singles, sixteen of them number ones, is a staggering run. What moves me most, though, is knowing how much he overcame later in life to keep performing at all. Resilience reads differently once you've watched someone fight for the thing that defined them. He's a survivor as much as a star.
