The long-awaited, deeply personal story of one of American music's
greatest icons, a remarkable tale of the utmost heights of fame and
success, the deepest lows of life's sorrows, and a miraculous
return from the brink of death-told as only Randy Travis can.
Beloved around the world, Randy Travis has sold more than 25
million albums in both country and gospel and is considered one of
the finest performers of his generation, admired by superstars
across the musical landscape, from Garth Brooks to Mick Jagger.
From a working-class background in North Carolina to a job as a
cook and club singer in Nashville to his "overnight success" with
his smash 1986 album Storms of Life--which launched the
neotraditional movement in country music--Randy's first three
decades are a true rags-to-riches story. But in 2009, this
seemingly charmed life began a downward spiral. His marriage
dissolved, he discovered that his finances had unraveled, and his
struggles with anger led to alcohol abuse, public embarrassment,
and even police arrest in 2012. Then, just as he was putting his
life back together, Randy suffered a devastating viral
cardiomyopathy that led to a massive stroke which he was not
expected to survive. Yet he not only survived but also learned to
walk again and in 2016 accepted his induction into the Country
Music Hall of Fame by singing the hymn that explains his life
today: "Amazing Grace." Filled with never-before-told stories,
Forever and Ever, Amen is a riveting tale of unfathomable success,
great joy, deep pain, and redemption that can come only from above.
