The title track became his first hit, breaking into the country Top 10. Some industry experts didn’t know what to make of his rock-influenced sound, but listeners definitely liked what they heard. Tritt had two more successful singles off the album—”Help Me Hold On” and “I’m Going to Be Somebody.” His career received another boost when he signed Ken Kragen up to be his manager. With such clients as Kenny Rogers and Trisha Yearwood, Kragen was well-connected in the Nashville scene. With his next effort, 1991’s “It’s All About to Change”, Tritt became a top-selling country act. The album sold millions of copies, joining the ranks of such country stars as Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson. Unlike those two, Tritt continued to be a non-conformist in the idea of a traditional country singer. He skipped the standard cowboy hat and put on rock-style concerts. Taking on a rock legend, Tritt covered the famous Elvis Presley song “T-R-O-U-B-L-E” in the 1992 album of the same name. He also won his first Grammy Award for his duet with Marty Stuart, “The Whisky Ain’t Workin’” that year. The next albums and scores of hit singles led him to amass more than 25 million in career album sales, two Grammys, three CMA Awards and a devoted fan base that filled venues coast-to-coast putting him in the vanguard of the genre’s early 90’s boom. After the release of the The Calm After …Travis Tritt is on the road again performing new hits and old favorites.
