T-R-O-U-B-L-E - Travis Tritt

This will by my third Tritt post this year. I've really been into his music recently, but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's my honky-tonk side coming out for some reason. It's kind of strange considering I didn't care for his music much at all when I was younger. This song originally reached #13 on the Billboard charts. It wasn't the highest ranked single from the album of the same name; that honor went to "Can I Trust You With My Heart", also a good song.


Of course, the song wasn't first recorded by Tritt. Elvis Presley released the song in 1975, but - and there are very few instances in which I'll probably ever feel this way - I actually prefer this cover over the Presley original. The Tritt version just seems more pure. Also, this song is not to be confused with a song released earlier in Presley's career entitled "Trouble".
