my album rating
, November 11, 2000Reviewer: oninny99 - See all oninny99's reviewsWOW! LOVE IT!! I love Randy Travis and I buy everything he puts out. But when I heard he was putting out an album of spiritual content, I was thrilled. I especially enjoyed seeing his name on the writing of them. It is wonderful to hear him sing but it is especially nice to listen to things he wrote. Hope he does another. Keep writing and keep singing. I look forward to hearing more in the years to come. -
THIS is Randy Travis!
, October 20, 2000Reviewer: skorchnak - See all skorchnak's reviewsI managed to get an early copy of this CD - four years in the making, but worth the wait. This is the Randy Travis of old, the musicians are top notch, and the songs are powerful. The production doesn't try to overpower but instead provides the support and structure for Randy's voice, sometimes a gentle power, other times that captivating velvet baritone, but always with the emotion and conviction of a true storyteller.
If you love country, if you love gospel, you'll love this album.

Pro Reviews: Inspirational Journey
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Released during Travis' tenure with Warner Bros. but held for release until 2000, Inspirational Journey is the singer's first religious album. In earlier decades, Tennessee Ernie Ford and B.J. Thomas made second careers by recording specifically for the Christian market. Other country singers would record occasional gospel albums, not to sell records, necessarily, but out of love for the music and perhaps a sense of obligation. Consequently, gospel albums by Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, and Dolly Parton ranked among those artists' most satisfying efforts. And such is the case here. Kyle Lehning under-produces almost to the point of this sounding like a Don Williams album. The voice is way out in front and the instruments and background vocalists provide a bed of support. There's occasional seasoning by bluegrass instruments including banjo, fiddle, and Jerry Douglas's Dobro. (One exception is "The Carpenter," which features co-lead and harmony vocals by Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter.) Fact is, if it weren't for the lyrics, Inspirational Journey would sound like any of the other good Randy Travis albums that Lehning produced. Which means that some listeners may find Travis' Lefty Frizzell-derived singing a bit on the sleepy side, despite the occasionally moderate-tempo change of pace from the ballads that constitute most of the album. But the singer's fans will appreciate his warmth, sincerity, and taste. Complete lyrics and musicians' credits are included, though tiny type against a dark background renders them all but unreadable. - Todd Everett, All Music Guide |

Like the Beatles in rock, Randy Travis marks a generational shift in country music. When his Storms of Life came out in 1986, country music was still wallowing in the posturban cowboy recession, chasing elusive crossover dreams. Travis brought the mu...Full Randy Travis Biography
