In the early 1990s, Travis Tritt helped save Nashville from banal hat acts and empty-headed stadium stompers. He did it by carrying the rough-hewn lessons learned from Waylon, Willie, Merle, et al into a new era. His third album, T-R-O-U-B-L-E completes a trio of releases that changed the course of country with their mix of radio-friendly ballads (see the country No. 1 "Can I Trust You With My Heart") and raucous honky-tonk hellraisers (the title track is a classic Tritt anthem). Despite the long stream of hit singles and albums that Tritt enjoyed subsequent to T-R-O-U-B-L-E, neither he nor his peers ever quite matched the album's undeniable impact.
