Randy Travis : Greatest Hits, Volume 1
Genre: Country	Dates: 1980s

Just as country music was beginning to "clean" itself of authentic regional influence (in other words, de-hillbilly itself), Travis emerged with deep baritone twang that recalled the most elastic drawl in the music's history, Lefty Frizzell (see above). What's more, he struck deep with a spirituality and humility that made the rest of country radio sound shallow and—imagine this!—assembly-line produced.
