Thirty years ago today, on May 4, 1991, Travis Tritt made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry. The singer s appearance came shortly before the release of his sophomore album,
It s All About to Change, and only a few days before the release of his sixth single, Here s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares).
After his first appearance on the Opry stage, Tritt found favor with country legend Roy Acuff, who helped pave Tritt s path to becoming an official Grand Ole Opry member.
“I don’t know why to this day, but Roy Acuff saw something in me that he liked, Tritt recalls. He came up and put his arm around me backstage and said, ‘Son, we want to see you back here at the Opry more often. ”

ATLANTA â Amid framed gold records and concert posters celebrating a Ray Charles tribute show at the Grand Ole Opry in 2006 and the 2014 opening of the Earl Scruggs Center in Shelby, North Carolina, there hangs a drawing of Charles.

âRay has more to do with what comes out of my mouth when I sing than anybody, probably. He influenced me so much.â
Travis Tritt is looking at the depiction of Charles with a crinkle-eyed smile as he relays his everlasting awe of the Georgia soul titan, and in that fleeting moment, the nearly 32-year history of Tritt crystallizes.
