Biographical information on Randy Travis from his website (https://www.randytravis.com/about):

Much of the success of modern country music can be traced to one man, Randy Travis. His arrival signaled the start of the “new country” sales explosion of the mid-1980s. Randy Travis was the first country artist to go Platinum with his disc debut, and the first debut country artist to go Multi-Platinum.

Both of those feats came about because of his 1986 LP Storms of Life. Now widely regarded as a landmark recording, it has sold more than three million copies and been nominated for the Grammy Hall of Fame. The collection yielded such iconic, career-launching performances as “On the Other Hand,” “1982,” “Diggin’ Up Bones” and “No Place Like Home.”

To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Storms of Life is being reissued in a Deluxe Edition by Warner Music Nashville. Its 10 original tracks have been remastered for fresh sonic clarity. In addition, three previously unheard songs that were originally recorded for the album in 1985 have been brought out of the vaults.

With this record, Randy Travis helped establish the “new traditionalist” stylistic revolution in his genre. Crowned the ACM’s Album of the Year, Storms of Life also placed him at the forefront of country’s youth movement. It turned the performer into a superstar, paving the way for such subsequent country idols as Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton and Toby Keith.

Storms of Life resulted in Randy Travis being inducted into the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in 1986. Many other accolades ensued, including getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004 and election to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016.

The phenomenal success of Storms of Life also led to Randy Travis winning the CMA’s Horizon Award in 1986. He went on to win Male Vocalist of the Year awards in 1987 and 1988. The album’s “On the Other Hand” won the 1986 CMA Song of the Year prize, an honor repeated by “Forever and Ever, Amen” in 1987 and “Three Wooden Crosses” in 2003.

In 1987, “Forever and Ever Amen” and Always and Forever earned CMA awards as Single and Album of the Year. That album is Quintuple Platinum. No Holdin’ Back (1989) and Old 8x10 (1988) are both Double Platinum. Heroes & Friends (1990), High Lonesome (1991), Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (1992) and Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1992) are all Platinum sellers. This Is Me (1994), An Old Time Christmas (1989), Rise and Shine (2002) and Worship & Faith (2003) are Gold, as is the artist’s video collection Forever and Ever (1991). Randy Travis is now one of the biggest selling country artists of all time.
