Randy Travis

Randy Travis stepped out in public -- a rarity since his 2013 stroke -- for his friend Dolly Parton's concert.

If you're in the market for a luxurious ranch in New Mexico, complete with stitched leather ceilings, horse stables, and an area for a pet buffalo, then Randy Travis' gated estate could be the right one for you -- and the good news is, it's available.

The road to recovery is a long one -- especially after suffering from a stroke. Randy Travis is still on that bumpy path following a stroke in July of last year, despite making lots of progress since then.

Randy Travis put his cowboy boots on and moved into the public eye for the first time since a stroke last summer. A photo shared by a fellow country singer is another positive sign for fans of the country legend.

It's been nearly six months since Randy Travis suffered a stroke due to congestive heart failure, which was then followed by a string of complications. Although it's been a long road to recovery -- and it's still not over -- the legendary singer is anxious to get back to work, according to his father.

A raw demo of Randy Travis singing a song called ‘Childhood Sweethearts’ has surfaced on YouTube. The song was co-written by singer Bonnie Paul, the woman who previously provided updates on Travis’ health.

Randy Travis is alert and smiling, although he may be having mobility issues following the stroke he suffered last summer.

2013 was full of tragedy, surprises and celebration -- it seemed a new jaw-dropping news event took place just about every month in country music. Five events make the final cut as nominees for the Headline of the Year Award at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Which do you think should win?

Friday night's (Nov. 22) Playing Possum: The Final No Show concert was all about George Jones, except for a few minutes in the middle that were dedicated to beleaguered singer Randy Travis. Actor Jon Voight took the stage to ask fans to create a human chain of love for the 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' singer, who was a longtime friend to Jones.

Over the summer, Randy Travis stared down a serious health scare. The country legend had congestive heart failure and suffered a stroke, and things were touch-and-go for a while -- he was even placed on life support.

Randy Travis' 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum' video is incredibly simple, letting the lyrics speak for themselves.

Randy Travis' 'Influence Vol. 1: The Man I Am' is a simple collection of covers from artists that inspired him. Merle Haggard is the most represented singer, with eight cuts influenced by or recorded by him at some point. Three of the first four are Haggard songs, with 'What Have You Got Planned Tonight Diana' being the one to remember.
