Travis Tritt returns rejuvenated, updated, and focused more on artistry than oncommerce. Stepping beyond Southern rock's confines withbluegrass, R&B;, and deep-dish country, he proves to be anaffecting interpreter of complex emotion on Down the Road I Go. Count on thewhiskey-voiced Tritt as a safe bet to survive country's currentobsession with manufactured pop. B+

At the outset, Travis Tritt's third album, T-r-o-u-b-l-e (WarnerBros.), promises to be a barn-burning follow-up to the platinum anddouble-platinum records that established him as one of the foremostof country's new breed.

On The Restless Kind, his most
countrified effort yet, the rebel Georgian pairs with producer
Don Was for a stripped-down record that shelves the distorted
Southern rock guitars for fiddles, Dobro, and spirited vocals. A
Steve Earle-ish guitar sound on ''Draggin' My Heart Around'' and
an ultra-cool rockabilly shuffle (''She's Going Home With Me'')
make for edgy surprises, but Travis Tritt is most effective on ''Where
Corn Don't Grow,'' a plain ol' ''you can't go home again'' weeper.

With his gravel-in-a-blender voice, Travis Tritt was a refreshingchange from the parade of neo-traditional hat acts; his first twoalbums (Country Club, It's All About to Change) were barn burnerswith the energetic zeal of the Confederacy itself. However, on histhird album, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, Tritt figured out what worked forhim-Dixie-fried country-rockers, sensitive love ballads- and put itall through the recycler.
