Randy Travis Teaches The New Old Tricks

CMT has changed the name of Crossroads with Cross Country. Why, I don't know. The concept is still the same. Hook up new act with older act they closely resemble. The new title's premier is a keeper though, thanks to Randy Travis. Travis hasn't done a straight up Country album since 1999, instead he's dropped 4 Christian Country ones. But on this show he teaches young Josh Turner a thing or two about vocal tricks. Travis is this generation's George Jones when it comes to bending his voice for the song. Turner may eventually have the goods. He's got Travis' baritone and uses it, although his overall package is kinda bland. But they used to say the same thing about Travis. It's good to see him back on CMT and doing hardcore Country.
