NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 25, 2026) – Grand Ole Opry member Randy Travis releases another treasured recording from the vault, “Set The Blues Back,” out today! The track comes from his never-before-heard, highly anticipated album Same Old Way, set for release on November 13.

Pre-order the album HERE.
In this brand-new track, Randy sings about a love so strong it “sets the blues back 100 years,” because they’ll never feel sad or lonely again. It’s a song about finding contentment in what truly matters, rather than material wealth or status.
If we don’t live in a mansion
Way up high on a hill
We don’t drive a Mercedes-Benz
Never have and never will
But there’s a whole lot of feel good goin’ on around here
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years
Randy and his longtime label home, Warner Records Nashville, already released three singles from Same Old Way, “Fish On,” “I Don’t Care,” and the title track, which have received praise and anticipation from outlets like Entertainment Tonight, Parade, Billboard, Whiskey Riff, Country Central, Holler, All Country News, and many more.
“The songs waited in a vault in Los Angeles, some for as long as 40 years. But now, thanks to a curious music producer and a star who lost his voice but never his vision, those songs have emerged from the ranks of the unheard.” – The Tennessean
“Same Old Way’ is a smooth, whiskey-tinted, steel-soaked number full of heartbreak. Travis’ inimitable vocals have been recaptured perfectly as they lilt over bluesy guitars and a southern sway.” – Holler
“Country music has long been known for songs of love and loss, but I don’t know that anyone but Randy Travis has ever dealt with it in such an honest and direct way. Just look at the heartbeat of the song.” – Forbes on “I Don’t Care”
“The infectious melody, coupled with an excellent recapturing of Travis’ iconic vocals, makes the track an undeniably fun outing from the living legend.” – Whiskey Riff on “Fish On”
2026 marks 40 years since Randy’s debut multi-platinum album, Storms Of Life. This fall, he will wrap up the More Life Tour, which will have toured over 54 cities and 24 states and reconnected Randy with fans across the country. It has touched tens of thousands of music lovers in a deeply personal way, further cementing his legacy as a living legend in country music.

About Randy Travis
With his first No. 1, 1986’s “On The Other Hand,” Randy Travis helped usher in a new traditionalist movement in modern country music. With his resonant baritone and pure music sense, “On The Other Hand” and “Forever and Ever, Amen” won back-to-back Country Music Association Song of the Year Awards on the way to selling more than 25 million albums, seven Grammys, 23 No. 1 hits, 31 Top 10s, and a 2016 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Following a near-fatal stroke in 2013, the four-decade Grand Ole Opry member’s recovery and enduring commitment to fans and the music has inspired millions. It has also earned him CMT: Country Music Television’s Artist of a Lifetime in 2021 and Academy of Country Music’s Milestone Award in 2025.
With ground-breaking AI assistance, “Where That Came From” was released by his longtime home, Warner Records Nashville, in 2024.
