Full Circle (Randy Travis album) explained
Full Circle is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released on August 13, 1996 by Warner Records.[3] [4] His last album for Warner Bros. Records until 2008 (not counting his later country-gospel works for Word/Warner/Curb), the album produced four singles: "Are We in Trouble Now", "Would I", "Price to Pay", and a cover of Roger Miller's hit single "King of the Road"; the cover also appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Traveller.
"Are We in Trouble Now" was written by Mark Knopfler. Travis cowrote three of the album's songs.
Critical reception
The Lincoln Journal Star wrote that "when he's on, Travis' lonesome North Carolina baritone slurs and slides with smoothness and feeling that few can match." USA Today thought that "Travis' aching baritone again sounds fresh as rain compared with the river of drivel pouring out of Nashville."
