Randy Travis will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of his Storms of Life album with the release of a Deluxe Edition project on September 24th. The album will include remastered versions of all ten original tracks plus three unreleased songs found in the vault.
Storms of Life was the first of five consecutive No. 1 albums for Randy, which has gone on to sell more than 3 million copies.
He said, “I love the timeless lyrics and the traditional country instruments, like steel guitar, banjo, piano, fiddle. It was music I believed in, that told a story I wanted to share. We were fortunate to have a large catalog of songs to choose from that were more traditional. At the time, people and radio really weren’t playing this kind of music. Most people were recording more of an urban cowboy sound, so I got to choose from the best of the best, cream of the crop. It was exciting for all of us to get back to our roots.”
Storms of Life was released in 1986 and includes the hits “On The Other Hand,” “Diggin’ Up Bones,” and “No Place Like Home.”
