History Trivia / TravisTritt

* OldShame: According to his autobiography, Tritt didn't like "Country Club" because he didn't think it fit his style.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)". Payphones went up to 35 and then 50 cents by the end of the 1990s, and soon afterward, they became obsolete thanks to cell phones.

* ChartDisplacement: Many of his most-famous songs got stuck at #2, most notably "It's a Great Day to Be Alive", along with "I'm Gonna Be Somebody", "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)", and "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'". Other famous songs that didn't make it to the top include "Put Some Drive in Your Country" (#28), "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" (#13), and his cover of "[[Music/{{Eagles}} Take It Easy]]" (#21).
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
** "Here's Your Sign (Get the Picture)", which set several of Creator/BillEngvall's "Here's your sign" jokes to a chorus sung by Tritt, was only ever available as a standalone single.
** Category 5 Records closed not long after ''The Storm'' was issued, so the album has become very hard to find, even after Tritt re-released it independently in 2013. "Something Stronger Than Me" was announced as the album's second single, but it never actually made it to radio due to the label's closure.

* ProductionPosse: His first four albums had multiple overlapping musicians, including backing vocalists Dana [=McVicker=] and Dennis Locorriere, bassist Mike Brignardello, guitarists Richard Bennett and Wendell Cox (also a longtime member of Tritt's road band), and drummer Steve Turner. All four were produced by Gregg Brown, with several songs written by Jill Colucci, Stewart Harris, and Tritt himself.
