Country legend hits EQC stage
By Tribal News Writers
Successful child country star Randy Traywick was turned down by nearly every record label in Nashville, often more than once. In 1985, the 26-year old performance veteran was signed. Warner Brothers Records took on the young, often rebellious artist, and changed his name to Randy Travis. Randy Travis’ first recorded effort for his new label was “Prairie Rose,” on the soundtrack to the film, “Rustler’s Rhapsody.” It was followed by the release of the album “Storms of Life” in 1986, and the rest is country music history.
Randy Travis established himself as a singer and performer in the grand tradition of George Jones, Lefty Frizell, Merle Haggard and a handful of others. The success of his singles led to wide-spread demand for live shows, and Randy Travis next set out on an extensive and ongoing tour, taking him across the United States and Canada before record-setting crowds.
