NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 13, 2026) – Country Music Hall of Famer Randy Travis and his label home, Warner Music Nashville, have unveiled his highly anticipated album, Same Old Way, out today. Eighteen years after his last full album of original music, Travis and his longtime producer, Kyle Lehning, have uncovered and remastered 12 previously unreleased tracks recorded throughout his distinguished career from 1986 to 2013, delivering a project full of Randy Travis originals from the vault for the world to hear. Listen to and buy the album HERE.
Same Old Way is classic Randy Travis from start to finish. Steel guitar, fiddle, and that unmistakable baritone carry songs of love, faith, heartbreak, and good-humored fun — the kind of traditional country that made him one of the genre’s most beloved voices. Across 12 tracks, the album moves from tender ballads like “I Know Where I’d Be Without You” and “Mission Of Love” to lighthearted fare like “Fish On” and “Set The Blues Back,” reminding listeners why his sound has never gone out of style.
“It’s been said, ‘what’s old is new again.’ When Kyle Lehning went through our vault, I wasn’t sure what he would find. It was a walk down memory lane as we chose the songs representing the decades of my career to share with the ones that brought me here…my fans. Without the listeners, the music would remain silent. After my stroke 13 years ago, I feel so blessed to be able to share music made the ‘same old way’…thank you for being there for me—yesterday, today, and always. I hope you enjoy this collection of songs as much as I did recording them,” said Randy Travis.
Following Randy’s near-fatal stroke in 2013, the possibility of hearing an entirely new collection of his music seemed uncertain. However, thanks to the dedication and discovery of longtime producer Kyle Lehning, 12 original Randy Travis recordings have found new life.
“The songs waited in a vault in Los Angeles, some for as long as 40 years. But now, thanks to a curious music producer and a star who lost his voice but never his vision, those songs have emerged from the ranks of the unheard.” – The Tennessean
“This track cleverly references so many great artists and offers a strong vocal performance from Travis… it perfectly embodies the carefree, fun feeling that so many great classic country songs did.” – Country Central on “Set The Blues Back”
“Same Old Way’ is a smooth, whiskey-tinted, steel-soaked number full of heartbreak. Travis’ inimitable vocals have been recaptured perfectly as they lilt over bluesy guitars and a southern sway.” – Holler on “Same Old Way”
“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”
“The infectious melody, coupled with an excellent recapturing of Travis’ iconic vocals, makes the track an undeniably fun outing from the living legend.” – Whiskey Riff on “Fish On”
