Tritt signs with LA label
Produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, The Highwomen, Sturgill Simpson), the album marks Tritt's first original album release in more than 12 years.
Tritt said, "I'm very excited about recording the new album with Dave Cobb. I'm also glad to be partnering with the Big Noise team, and I'm looking forward to promoting this album with them in my corner."
"We get to work with a lot of great artists at Big Noise, but truthfully I never thought we'd have the honor of working with someone of Travis' stature. Travis is a legend, plain and simple. He's an innovator and an outlaw, perfect for our roster at Big Noise," said Jon Cohen, President of Big Noise Music Group.
Tritt's albums, seven of which are certified platinum or higher, has resulted in more than 30 million in career album sales, two GRAMMY awards, four CMA Awards, including the CMA Horizon Award (now known as the New Artist Award); and membership in the Grand Ole Opry.
Big Noise has many urban and pop artists with Tritt the lone country act.

Originally released in 1987 on Copperhill Records, it helped earn him his first major label record deal - with Warner Bros. Nashville. The 11 songs, all written or co-written by Tritt, reflect the classic country era they were recorded in and show that Tritt was a talent ready for national exposure.
Some of these melodies and rhythms offer foreshadowing of hits that would be in Tritt's future. ...
Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about today's digital music world, one in which new artists are emerging at an unprecedented rate and nabbing spots on radio and major outlets is that so many artists who've got it the hard way, earning their way through the ranks and establishing themselves, have almost been forgotten. And it's not a new trend, but one that is becoming increasingly apparent, even as these new artists speak of the value of classic country while trodding right ...
If you ever wonder what exactly happened to Travis Tritt, it's entirely possible he's asking the same thing himself. To review, there once was a time when grunge and hip hop were ascending, and millions of displaced popular music fans turned to its country cousin.
