Travis Tritt fell in love with music as a child, teaching himself how to play guitar at only eight and writing songs at 14. Determined to have a music career, Tritt began his persuit in 1982 by recording a demo tape at a private studio owned by Danny Davenport, who happened to be an executive at Warner Brothers.

Davenport heard the vocalist’s songs and was impressed, deciding to take Tritt under his wing. For the next several years, the pair recorded demo tapes while Tritt played the honky tonk circuit. The singer was developing a distinctive sound, adding elements of country-rock and Southern rock to his honky tonk.

In 1989, Warner Brothers’ Nashville division signed Tritt, and his debut album, Country Club. He became one of the leading new country singers of the early ‘90s holding his own against Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson. He was the only one not to wear a hat and the only one to dip into bluesy Southern rock.

Throughout his early career he had a string of platinum albums and Top Ten singles, including three number one hits. His early hits included, “Country Club”, “Help Me Hold On”, “I’m Gonna Be Somebody” and “Put Some Drive in Your Country.

Despite his success, the Nashville music industry was hesitant to embrace Tritt as his music and stage show owned too much to rock & roll. Nevertheless, Tritt had a breakthrough success with “It’s All About to Change”, “T-r-o-u-b-l-e”, “Ten Feet Tall & Bulletproof”, “No More Looking Over My Shoulder” and “Down the Road I Go”.
