Randy Travis has won all of the major country music awards multiple times, including seven Grammy® Awards, 10 Academy of Country Music Awards, five Country Music Association Awards, and eight Dove Awards, and his albums through the years have sold over 20 million copies. He was glad to put together this special collection of hits and new songs for Cracker Barrel guests and pleased that Cracker Barrel will donate a portion of the proceeds to Wounded Warrior Project. “After touring quite a number of our country’s military bases and performing repeatedly for our troops, I can tell you that there is nothing as rewarding as doing these shows for our service men and women,” said Travis. “The love they have for this country is inspiring,” he added, “and I am glad that Cracker Barrel, where I, myself, like to eat, is supporting such a worthwhile project.”
“We offer up this newest CD in our exclusive music program in the hopes that Cracker Barrel guests will enjoy some old favorites and discover some new ones,” said Cracker Barrel’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Chris Ciavarra. “Randy Travis is very popular with our guests, and we like to believe that they will find this to be an exciting CD to add to their collections. We’re also pleased to be supporting Wounded Warrior Project by donating a portion of the proceeds from this CD to that organization.”
