Travis Tritt is one of America’s popular country music legends. He was born in 1963 and took an interest in singing after attending Sunday school, where the choir performed “Everything Is Beautiful” by Ray Stevens. A few years later, after joining a church band, Tritt began writing his own music in high school.
One of his first muses was a girlfriend whom he had broken up with. From there, he determined that music was a way to express emotion and explore our lives in a significant way.
Success would soon follow for Travis Tritt. He eventually signed with Warner Bros. Records in 1989, and throughout this deal, he released seven studio albums and a greatest hits package. Not only that, but he also released another three records through Columbia Records, and one more through Category 5 Records. In total, Tritt has hit the Hot Country Songs charts over 40 times, with five number ones. One of these was “Help Me Hold On”, one of Tritt’s most popular releases. Listen below:
Tritt has collected quite a few accolades throughout his career. Seven of his albums have been certified platinum, with his 1991 record It’s All About to Change reaching triple-platinum, which is an immense achievement for a musician. Not only that, but he has won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals; once in 1992 for “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’”, and once more with 1998’s “Same Old Train”. These songs were collaborations with Marty Stuart for both songs, and an additional nine other artists for “Same Old Train”.
