THE FIRST TIME RANDY TRAVIS RELEASED “ON THE OTHER HAND,” IT STOPPED AT NO. 67. A YEAR LATER, THE SAME SONG WENT TO NO. 1 AND HELPED PULL COUNTRY MUSIC BACK TOWARD HOME. Before Randy Travis became the deep voice behind “Forever and Ever, Amen,” he was Randy Traywick, a troubled teenager from North Carolina who kept finding his way into courtrooms, jail cells, and trouble he was too young to understand how to leave behind. He had dropped out of school. He had been arrested more than once. He could sing, but singing was not enough to keep a life together. Then Lib Hatcher, who owned a Charlotte nightclub called Country City U.S.A., heard him. She gave him a place to work. She gave him a bandstand. When one judge was ready to send Randy back into the system, Lib promised she would take responsibility for him. For a while, he lived above the club. At night, he sang for people drinking beer under neon lights. He learned the old songs. George Jones. Lefty Frizzell. Merle Haggard. He did not have the polished sound Nashville was chasing in the early 1980s. His voice was low, slow, and traditional. It sounded like it belonged to a country radio station from twenty years earlier. Lib took him to Nashville. Warner Bros. signed him. They changed his name from Randy Traywick to Randy Travis. Then came “On the Other Hand.” Released in July 1985, the song barely moved. It stopped at No. 67. For a new singer, that kind of first single could close a door before anybody had learned your name. Warner released “1982” next. That one climbed to No. 6. Radio programmers started hearing something in him. Fans started asking for the first song again. So Warner put “On the Other Hand” back out in April 1986. This time, it did not stop. By July, it was No. 1. The song was small by country standards: a married man standing at a bar, tempted by another woman, then feeling his wedding ring in his hand. But Randy sang it without trying to make it modern. He let the guilt stay quiet. He let the steel guitar breathe. He made a new generation of listeners hear what country music had sounded like before it started running from its own past. Then came Storms of Life. Then “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Then seven straight No. 1 singles. But before Randy Travis became the man who helped open the door for Alan Jackson, Clint Black, and a whole new traditional country wave, he was a singer whose first record had failed. And one woman in North Carolina had refused to let that failure be the last thing anybody heard from him.
