Hey y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm your host, Sid Evans.

And today I'm sharing a visit with one of the most legendary singers in country music history.

Even folks a million miles from Nashville know about Randy Travis.

After more than 40 years as one of the

most popular and recognizable voices in country music, during which he earned a pile of Grammys

and a rightful place in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Randy Travis is a household name who has

inspired legions of fans. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to sit down

with Randy and his wife Mary at their home in Nashville and to hear their incredible story. After a

near fatal stroke impaired his ability to speak and stole his singing voice in 2013, Randy had to

overcome serious odds to rebuild his life and career.

Now, thanks to his longtime producer, Kyle Lening, and the advances of AI technology,

Randy Travis has gotten his voice back. The bond he and Mary share is a big part of what's made his comeback possible,

and it also helped us to have this conversation about their life together. We'll talk about all

of that, plus his new song, Horses in Heaven, a new biopic based on his life, and how he's

reaching the next generation of fans, all in this week's Biscuits and Jam.

Randy and Mary Travis, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Oh, how you're so excited about this right up our alley.

Well, it's great to be here with you in person, in your home in Nashville.

It's such an honor to be here.

Thank you for sitting with y'all.

Thanks for having me.
