Randy Travis, a beloved figure in country music, will release his first album of entirely new material in over 18 years, titled “Same Old Way,” on November 13. The album is a collection of 12 previously unheard songs recorded between 1986 and 2013, prior to his debilitating stroke in July 2013.
The stroke significantly impacted Travis’s ability to speak and sing, leading to aphasia. Despite this, he has remained involved in the music world, and his longtime producer and friend, Kyle Lehning, discovered these archived recordings. Lehning assembled, remixed, and remastered the tracks, with Travis’s input, to create this new album.
“Same Old Way” offers fans a chance to hear Travis’s voice as it was before his stroke, unlike his 2024 single “Where That Came From,” which utilized AI-assisted technology. The album’s title track, “Same Old Way,” was co-written by Travis and Lehning, marking the only song they have ever written together and Lehning’s first major songwriting credit. Two other singles from the album, “Fish On” and “I Don’t Care,” were released on July 10 and August 7, respectively.
Travis expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to bring new music to his listeners, stating, “It’s a joy and a blessing to be able to bring new music to my listeners—thank you all for still showing up for me.” The release of “Same Old Way” coincides with the 40th anniversary of Travis’s multi-platinum debut album, “Storms Of Life.”
