Randy Travis, one of country music’s greatest legends, is set to release his highly anticipated memoir, “Forever and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of Life.” This deeply personal book offers a glimpse into his life, from his challenging childhood in North Carolina to his rise as a country music superstar.

COUNTRY MUSIC STORIES

For the first time, Randy Travis opens up about the hardships of his early years, including his turbulent relationship with his father, filled with struggles like alcoholism and criminal behavior. In his memoir, he explores how country music became his escape, offering him solace and the opportunity to break free from a difficult past.

The book also covers the triumphs of his career, from his breakthrough in the 1980s to his enduring legacy as one of the genre’s brightest stars. Hits like “Digging Up Bones,” “On the Other Hand,” and of course, “Forever and Ever, Amen” will be discussed, shedding light on the personal experiences that shaped these iconic songs.

In a heartfelt press release, Travis reflects on the journey that led to the book:
“I didn’t really feel I had a book to write until I stood on the distant shore and looked back over the ripples my life has made — on myself and on others. My songs were the stories of my life, and I learned from those who listened, they were theirs too — my fans inspired me and continue to do so.” Travis goes on to share how writing this memoir allowed him to gain a clearer understanding of his past, his songs, and the experiences that shaped his identity.

Fans of Travis’ music and those who have followed his extraordinary career won’t want to miss this memoir, due to be released on May 14, 2019. The book is already available for pre-order on Amazon.
