Who, besides yourself, Is Involved In the music decisions? BLACKHAWK It's primarily me and our consultant. I'm fortunate to be given a lot of autonomy FAITH HILL regarding our music decisions. However, if I'm uncertain about a song I'll drag in SHANIA TWAIN the PD, OM, or some of our locks and get their reaction. How much of your time do you actually devote to listening LINDA RONSTADT GEORGE STRAIT

A MAN AIN'T made Of STON

"If I had your voice, people could just kiss my ass." - DAVID LETTERMAN following Randy's performance of "A Man Ain't Made Of Stone"

"Here's the truth: Travis still possesses one of country's most incredible voices, and he's one guy who's still keeping the faith, musically and spiritually. - BRIAN MANSFIELD USA TODAY

"His thrilling baritone, which It aps and slides in Jonesian fashion. still rattles the walls, and his songs still plumb the depths of spiritual and moral truths. Nowhere is he better than on the title track, a character -shaping realization of marital meltdown." - ALANNA NASH ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"From the outset it is clear that Travis retains the same rich, smooth voice that's made him one of the most easily identifiable country figures of the last 20 years." - TOM ROLAND NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN
