A CountryMusic singer known for his gruff appearance and Southern rock influences.
James Travis Tritt (born 1963) grew up in Marietta, Georgia, performing locally before putting together a demo tape that was submitted to Creator/WarnerBrosRecords. Under their contract, he was to record six songs, and would not be signed for a full album unless one of the six became a hit. That first song, "Country Club", went on to become a Top 10 hit, and led off his album of the same name. Throughout the 1990s, he had a string of five consecutive platinum albums, which were dominated by his SignatureStyle: impassioned, lush ballads such as "Anymore", "Foolish Pride", and "Can I Trust You with My Heart"; twangy traditional honky-tonk such as "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'" and "I'm Gonna Be Somebody"; and hard-driving Southern rock such as "Put Some Drive in Your Country" and "T-R-O-U-B-L-E". Unlike his contemporaries, he wore long hair and didn't sport a cowboy hat, and many critics noted his ability to shift seamlessly between such styles.
Although his style became somewhat outmoded after the TurnOfTheMillennium, he continued to record, switching to Creator/ColumbiaRecords for a trio of albums between 2000 and 2004. The first of these saw a momentary resurgence with the ballad "Best of Intentions" and the iconic "It's a Great Day to Be Alive", but the rest fared poorly. Tritt's last album was ''The Storm'', issued in 2007 on Category 5 Records, which closed soon afterward.
Tritt is a frequent collaborator of country/bluegrass musician Marty Stuart, most famously on "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'". He has also worked with Little Feat, Mark O'Connor, Music/PattyLoveless, and Creator/BillEngvall among others.
