Editorial Review:
The STORM is HERE! This redefining release catapults Travis to a whole new level. THE STORM includes the current hit single "You Never Take Me Dancing" Songwriting credits on the album include Rob Thomas, Richard Marx and Diane Warren. The Storm is a brand new album with a little bit of something for everyone. Travis Tritt and Randy Jackson team up to create a radio friendly powerhouse collection of songs that emphasize the irresistible soul side of Travis Tritt's singing. Travis has sold over 25 million albums, won two Grammy awards and three Country Music Awards. The Storm finds him bold and invigorated and at the top of his game.
Description of The Storm:
Travis Tritt's decision to put Randy Jackson at the helm of his first album for a new label isn't as weird as it might appear--before American Idol made him a household name, Jackson played bass for Aretha Franklin and Journey and was an A&R man at various record companies. And gastronomically speaking, Tritt--Georgia born and raised--always mixed a good portion of blue-eyed soul with his country black-eyed peas. So this R&B-heavy album--greasy in spots and balls-to-the-wall bluesy throughout--isn't as much of a surprise as the fact that Tritt schizophrenically includes two oh-so-wrong Diane Warren ballads, neither of which suits his personality or his phrasing. Happily, Tritt finds a more suitable home covering Richard Marx's "You Never Take Me Dancing," a funky meditation on the men-are-from-Mars-women-are-from-Venus theme (dig the black background shout-outs), and stretches out on the it's-my-fault-she-left-me plea of "Should've Listened." Throughout, Tritt sprinkles a little Allman Brothers stardust (particularly on the title track), and drives the Southern-rock nail home with Hank Williams Jr.'s "The Pressure Is On," a cheating man's lament that's as deep-dish Southern as rhubarb pie. There are other high points, particularly Kenny Wayne Shepherd's blistering guitar solo on Tritt's cover of his gritty "Somehow, Somewhere, Someway." But the two songs Tritt wrote with Marx ("Doesn't the Good Outweigh the Bad") and Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas ("What If Love Hangs On") typify the album as a whole--good, but not truly great. Watch him deliver his masterpiece next time out. --Alanna Nash
The Storm Reviews:
They call it stormy monday 
2008-09-03 - I heard Travis on a talk show talking about this album. He was so convincing that I bought the album the next day. He hasn't let me down. Its been good to me.
still dont think he should have cut off all his hair.
Made me feel like I was in a bar, listening to the blues. 
2008-06-14 - It's a great album. I love his voice and the country-blues sound. Even though it's a studio project, it has a "live" feel to it. I love it, especially the "won't take her dancing" song!
Travis Tritt is The Greatest Entertainer In The Whole Wide World
2007-10-30 - The StormThis new cd is awesome, but I'm not surprise, Travis is an amazing entertainer and Travis sings from the heart and Travis reaches peoples hearts, I buy only Travis's cd, because when you have The Best, Who Needs The Rest.
