Randy Travis teased some new music on TikTok.  And some are speculating that this will be his first album of fully original songs since “Around the Bend” in 2008.  His wife actually teased it for the first time late last year. Randy’s career was all but finished in 2013, after he suffered viral cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and a stroke.  He survived against the odds but went on to have three tracheostomies and two brain surgeries. Randy is 64 years old and uses a wheelchair most of the time, but he hasn’t disappeared from the music scene.  Last month Lainey Wilson brought him onstage, and he was spotted backstage with Tim McGraw at CMA Fest.
