Randy Travis Announces ‘Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am’ Release Date

If you're like me, you've enjoyed Randy Travis' unique voice throughout his amazing career. And there are a lot of people like me who helped give him five country chart-topping albums.

The country music legend has announced the release date of 'Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am'. Travis, who has influenced a generation of country singers himself, is giving fans another taste of the music had the greatest impact on his Grammy Award-winning career.

The 13-song CD, due out August 19th, features mostly covers of country music hits throughout the history of the genre. It also contains Travis' ode to his late friend George Jones, 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum'.

In a press release, Travis says the second serving of 'The Man I Am' was important, because he didn't cover all the ground he wanted in the first effort:

“We had such a great time putting together Influence Vol. 1, but there were still so many musical heroes of yesteryear that I learned from and wanted to honor. We had no choice but to release a second volume. The “Influence” that the older, great ones had on me, and the “Influence” that I may, somehow, have on the ones that come along after me, is God’s way of allowing us to pay it forward. It is my prayer answered—and, His will done—it is what makes me, “the man I am.”

'Influence Vol. 2:  The Man I Am' is available to pre-order now on iTunes, and when you do, you get an instant download of one track, 'Don't Worry 'Bout Me'.
