What a great return to country for Randy! I have to say that the best song on there is "You Didn't Have A Good Time", what a moving song. "Love Is A Gamble" and "Dig Two Graves" are also great songs. He could sing anything, even rap, and I would love it. The best album of the year!

So great to have Randy back and just as good as ever. If you are a country fan, this is really what Country is all about.

Around the Bend really grows on you. Randy Travis' vocals along with instrumentals are amazing. From the lyrics of Love is a Gamble to the instrumentals of Til I'm Dead and Gone this is country music at its best! I wish they would play Randy on the local radio station. Till then I am going to wear out the ipod with Around The Bend!

I looooove "Every Head Bowed" and "Dig Two Graves!" Great songs- "Every Head Bowed" is true-life and hilarious, and "Dig Two Graves" is a great love song! Go, Randy!!

Great songs, great singer and great production, But this one doesn't hold a candle to You and You Alone as far as being country. 70% of the material is spiritual. There were better country songs on some of his so called gospel releases such as That Was Us or Pick Up Your Oar and Row. The 3-stars is on the RT Scale. On the standard country scale it is 5.

Randy really knows how to put things together! this album is one of my most faorite albums that he has out!!! MMM! GOOD CHICKEN, PASS 'EM TATERS!!!!!

Randy's back 100% in the country theme. Even though he's been recording, this trip back to pure country is pure heaven!

After seven long years, finally a new album from a legend in Country music. His voice is still smooth and the lyrics stir one's soul. I just love this album!

Who wrote this review? Randy Travis has never had much cursing or "secular" material in his music.

A wonderful CD!!!!! Randy's voice is just getting better with age and he puts so much emotion into this CD. I may have to buy more copies, so I can have it playing in every room in the house. If you love country music, you will want this CD.
