Randy Travis’s Triumphant Comeback

When the country music icon Randy Travis suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2013, aphasia left his singing career—and his ability to communicate—in doubt. After more than a decade of silence, the seven-time Grammy winner and Marshville, North Carolina, native has once again enchanted his fans with his rich baritone in his latest single, “Horses in Heaven,” with the aid of AI and the country musician James Dupré, who lends his voice to Travis’s new songs and performs as a special guest vocalist on his tour.
