	Randy Travis Biography
		Randy Travis (born Randy Bruce Traywick, May 4, 1959, Marshville, North Carolina) was born and raised in North Carolina, in a small town outside of Charlotte.
		Travis was the first country artist to go multi-platinum; before his success, most country artists had difficulty achieving gold status.
		Travis was still at the top of his form in the beginning of the '90s, starting the decade with his biggest hit, "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart." However, his hold at the top of the charts began to slip after Clint Black and, in particular, Garth Brooks.

	Word Records - Artists - Randy Travis
		Travis and Hatcher moved to Nashville in the 1980s, and 20 years ago, he netted his first country hits, "1982" and "On The Other Hand," setting the stage for an explosive spurt in which he led a charge by Nashville's country divisions back to a more traditional sound.
		Travis earned deserved praise for his efforts at that time, but he could not have effectively recorded the kind of heart-felt pieces of worship that populate Glory Train.
		And Travis, still learning and absorbing the genre, is drawn to gospel for the same reasons that likely attracted those artists: the impact he sees his music making.

		Randy Travis went from drugs and lawbreaking to country-music stardom.

		Travis was soon turned down by every record label in town.
