Randy Travis

All but three dates of the first Randy Travis tour since a 2013 stroke forced the legend into retirement have been canceled.

Twelve 2019 tour dates have been announced for October and November.

It's a charming space!

Travis says that after his stroke, he found joy in going to other artists' shows and staying involved with the country music community.

The country superstar continues to make strides toward recovery every day, he and his wife Mary explain in an interview.

In 1963, Buck Owens topped the country charts with "Act Naturally," which opened with the prophetic line "They're gonna put me in the movies." But decades before that tune was a hit, country stars were already trading the concert stage for the sound stage.

On March 7, 1986, Travis made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry, performing "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."

On Feb. 14, 1985, Travis signed his record deal with Warner Bros. Records.

'Forever and Ever Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith and Braving the Storms of Life' will chronicle Travis' iconic life and country career.

Travis and more country stars are in the lineup for a Nashville concert that will celebrate the songs of contemporary Christian artist Michael W. Smith.
