Synopsis

Amazon.com
In spite of his many new forays into the world of acting, Randy Travis will always be country music's Great Stoneface, an unreadable character with one of the five greatest male voices in country history. Travis's singing is so rich, so spot-on, he could revarnish an entire patio with a single three-minute tune. Travis live is just like Travis on record, except that when he has a good audience there's a buoyancy not usually found on disc, which happens to be the case on this concert album. Clocking in at nearly 80 minutes, the CD is a companion to the DVD, released simultaneously, but it's more than just a Travis hits package: it's an hour and 20 minutes of Travis at his best, doing his best tunes, for an audience that really cares. It doesn't get any warmer than this. --Henry Cabot Beck

CD Reviews

Randy Travis Performs it Live in "Just a Matter of Time"
Linda Webb | Carrollton, TX USA | 09/01/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Whether you are looking for that CD with a lot of great Randy Travis hits, or whether you are looking for a CD that will give you the feeling of attending that Randy Travis concert you've never been able to attend, this one's for you. From the most upbeat hits like "before You Kill Us all" and "Better class of Losers" to the ballads of "Spirit of a Boy, wisdom of a Man," you can enjoy that soothing baritone of one of the best traditional country singers still recording today. As a reviewer who had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend the show, I can say the crowd was certainly energized by the variety of songs this release has to offer. You too can join in, clapping along to such songs as "If I Didn't Have You," "Shallow Water," and others as the audience did and just sitting back and listening to that melodic voice sing his rendition of the old Brook Benton tune "Just a Matter of Time,." "Look Heart, No Hands," and "Baptism." With the CD nearing the end, the two encore songs of "Runaway Train" and the old Roger miller tune "King of the Road" will only leave you wanting more. Unlike when I attended it live last December of 2000, with the CD you can just hit the replay button and sit back and relax. Now you've got to admit, there are not too many live shows you can just have instant replay.If you have had the chance to previously attend one of Randy's shows, it is sure to bring back memories of many of those good old hits you heard that evening.If you have never experienced Randy's performances or never experienced any of Randy's music, why not consider it now. Available in DVD, VHS, CD and cassette, each version has a little something to offer. While the CD and tape are in general the songs and introductions to the songs themselves, the VHS has one short interview prior to the show, a joke and introduction of the accompanying band members, while the DVD (although the show portions is much the same as the VHS) has an extensive interview one can enjoy.I made the trip from Texas to California to attend this show live but now you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own living room or wherever you choose. Don't let this one get away!!!"
Why, Why, Why???

"I love Randy Travis, and I have yet to find a bad album in his discography. That's why I hate to include this in his discography.To me, this is kind of like an "unauthorized" release. It just doesn't fit with the rest of his material. And yes, that is weird to me, since this is basically a greatest hits cd.But getting down to business. Randy is in good voice here, and he does the best he can. This is just another night on stage, with the same old songs. I wish he would have forgotton about a live release and went ahead and waited and had another studio album.This is one of those cds you will buy, listen to a few times, then find under the seat of your car, and think to yourself, "I forgot I had this."Just pass this one on by."
Great live album
