NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 4, 2026) – Country music legend Randy Travis and his label home Warner Records Nashville unveiled all the details today on his never-before-heard, highly anticipated new album Same Old Way set for release on November 13. This is the first album of completely new material that Randy has released in over 18 years, full of tracks that span Randy’s distinguished recording career from 1986 to 2013. Pre-order the album HERE.
Today’s announcement comes with the release of the title track, “Same Old Way,” penned by Travis with his longtime producer and friend, Kyle Lehning. It is the only song the pair has written together, and the first time Lehning has had a major songwriting credit.
“When life throws you a curveball, swing for the fences the ‘same old way’ and hope you knock it out of the park! Team Travis helped me run the bases on this one, and it feels like a home run! It’s a joy and a blessing to be able to bring new music to my listeners—thank you all for still showing up for me,” said Randy Travis.
Following his 2013 stroke, fans and music industry insiders alike weren’t sure that a project like this would ever be possible again, but Randy continues to make history, and this album is living proof of that. Lehning uncovered the tracks on this album after years of them being locked away in the vault. He assembled, remixed, and remastered the recordings with Randy’s input, giving the world 12 more original Randy Travis songs and bringing back his iconic, irreplaceable voice that still holds true to this day.
Randy has already released two singles from Same Old Way, “Fish On” and “I Don’t Care,” in addition to today’s title track, which have received praise from Entertainment Tonight, Parade, Billboard, Whiskey Riff, Country Central, Holler, All Country News, and many more.
“Country music has long been known for songs of love and loss, but I don’t know that anyone but Randy Travis has ever dealt with it in such an honest and direct way. Just look at the heartbeat of the song.”- Forbes on “I Don’t Care”
