The Media "Storm" Begins For Tritt's New Album
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Acclaimed multi-platinum vocalist, songwriter, musician and entertainer Travis Tritt will release his first new studio album i three years on August 21, and national media are embracing him and his latest project. Tritt's media whirlwind kicks off August 28 in New York City as he makes an appearance on NBC's Today show. Tritt will perform a selection from his new album The Storm, which was co-produced with American Idol's Randy Jackson and features the genre-bending conglomeration of sounds for which Travis has been recognized throughout his career. Subsequent media stops include a visit to CNN's Glenn Beck both television and radio, also on August 28. And on September 5, Tritt will perform on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The two-time Grammy winner wrote songs with Richard Marx and Rob Thomas for the album, and other contributors include Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Hank Williams, Jr., Diane Warren and rock band Nickelback.
Travis has sold 25 million albums and performed for standing-room-only crowds coast to coast over the course of his accomplished career. He has blurred the lines between rock, country, soul and blues to the extent that he's been produced by rock legend Don Was, recorded with George Jones and Patti LaBelle, and developed a close musical kinship with the late Ray Charles.
"Tritt sizzled with energy, and brought the evening to a spectacular close. He also assured the all-ages, though young-skewing, audience that his concert would be far better than just staying at home and listening to the CD. Tritt's charisma made sure of that." Pittsburgh Post Gazette (July 2007)
"Long-lived country cowpoke Travis Tritt has a well-established reputation for unconventional collaborations, from Patti LaBelle and Ray Charles to John Mellencamp. On latest single 'You Never Take Me Dancing,' he partners with consummate songwriter Richard Marx and 'American Idol' judge Randy Jackson for a funky, countrified chicken steak of a song, complete with greasy sides of loose steel guitar, soulful female background shout-outs and enough percussive kick to make this the next great country line dance. Tritt laments the age-old question of how to fulfill his woman, singing, 'Just when I thought I had it all worked out, she says you give me all I want of your money baby, but you never take me dancing.' It's off to the radio races with this minted melody." Billboard (July 2007)
