Author: Robert K. Oermann. Photographer: Eric Swanson . At a time when many of Randy Travis's contemporaries in the 1980s New Traditionalist country movement have either retired or moved to the lower profile of small independent labels, AROUND THE BEND reveals the North Carolina native still at the top of his powers. His 17th studio album in 22 years, AROUND THE BEND blends traditional country material such as the sweet first single "Faith In You," and the wry "Everything That I Own (Has Got A Dent)" with unexpected detours such as a faithful rendition of Bob Dylan's rueful folk-rock standard, "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." AROUND THE BEND is also available in a deluxe edition with a bonus DVD including two acoustic TV performances.

In the 1980s, when mainstream country radio was virtually indistinguishable from middle-of-the-road pop, Randy Travis helped reground country in its stripped-down, three-chord roots. With a sweet, deep voice reminiscent of both Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard, Travis can be as great as his material allows, and has remained one of the most respected and successful singers in country music for decades. He's also turned into a hard-working actor, appearing in numerous film roles.
