Baillie & The Boys: Kathy Baillie, Michael Brook, Alan LeBouef (background vocals). Recorded at Nightingale Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Travis's third album is another winner in the same beautifully produced neo-traditionalist vein of STORMS OF LIFE, and ALWAYS AND FOREVER, with a similar mixture of cry in your beer weepers ("It's Out of My Hands,""), I'll-love-you-forever songs ("Deeper Than the Holler," "Written in Stone") and neo-honky-tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Moon," "Is It Still Over"), all sung with Travis's patented George Jones derived clench-jawed soul. Highlights include the wrenching title song, which Travis limns sings with amazing delicacy, and "The Blues in Black and White," one of the wittiest breakup songs of the '80s.

Rolling Stone - 3 Stars - Good

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.
