34 years after the fact, Travis releases video

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 – Thirty four years after the song was released, Randy Travis has put out the official music video for his 1987 hit "No Place Like Home" for the first time.

This comes right after the recent remastered release of his debut album, "Storms of Life (35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)."

"No Place Like Home" was the song made into a music video from his genre-shifting debut album and was never before made available to the public.

The music video was directed by Michele Mahrer in the mid-1980s, but was recently digitally enhanced to be released in high definition. Travis' signature smooth vocals accompany visuals that embody the sentimental lyrics of "No Place Like Home" and the vintage footage adds to the nostalgic feel.

"I hope the message that the viewer takes with them is that when things in life appear hopeless... find a way," said Travis, adding, "appreciate what you have, be mindful of God's blessings in your life. Think twice, or more, before you close and lock the door. Cherish, hold tight to that which is dear. Your heart, and your hat, hang at home. Be slow to blame and fast to forgive—pray the same from others...we all need it."

Travis, 62, has not been able to perform regularly since suffering a major stroke in 2013.

CD review - Influence Vol. 2: The Man I Am Not having heard Randy Travis' new material, one could mistakenly think a guest vocalist was taking the first licks of "I'm Movin' On," his new album's opening cut. Is that Hank Snow? No, can't be. Refrain ... still the same voice. Second verse - oh man, that's Randy Travis! Wow, his voice sure has changed. Well, yeah, when you've been singing professionally since the mid-1980s, the ol' pipes can slip a bit. And Travis, 54, has battled serious ...
CD review - Influence Vol. 1: The Man I Am Randy Travis hasn't had it easy in recent years with abuse, arrests and this past summer, a major health issue of a stroke. But one thing that hasn't changed is the ease with which the North Carolina native, credited with spearheading the Neo Traditionalist movement 25 years ago, tackles traditional material. That's what this disc is about - Travis doing his take on songs that influenced him. From the sounds of it, Travis had a lot of good music kicking around the house, especially Merle Haggard. ...
CD review - Anniversary Celebration When Randy Travis released "A Few Ole Country Boys" in 1990, it was plain to see the message of his duet with (and ode to) the legendary George Jones hit close to home. Just a few years removed from his stint as a cook at Music City bar The Nashville Palace, Travis' delivery of lyrics such as "Not too many years ago/When dreams weren't comin' true/I'd reach for inspiration/Sometimes it would be you" carried heavy-hitting meaning by the budding star. ...
