The impact Randy Travis had on country music was immense. He arrived on the scene with such ease, wooing fans with his syrupy smooth baritone and musical style deeply rooted in tradition, that no one was threatened by the revolution he was instigating. Leading a pack of new traditionalists, Randy took his contemporary-sounding country music to commercial heights never before achieved in the genre. This second volume of his greatest hits (with two new songs - "Look Heart, No Hands" and "Take Another Swing at Me") covers a lot of his stylistic bases, but whether Travis is essaying cry-in-your-beer weepers (the wrenching "He Walked On Water") love-you-forever ballads ("Forever and Ever, Amen") or an old '50s r&b ballad (Brook Benton's "It's Just a Matter of Time") he sings them all with his patented, George Jones derived clench-jawed soul. Great stuff.
