Tritt has sold more than 25 million albums, and earned two Grammy Awards and three CMA Awards over the course of his storied career. The Storm finds him bold and invigorated, at the very top of his game. But his ambitions as an artist haven't really changed over the years – just his skills at achieving them. "Regardless of what kind of music you're doing, if you can have a song that someone listens to and instantly thinks of a situation they're going through, that's a special connection," Tritt says about his aim as a songwriter and performer. "That's when music becomes more than something you just tap your toe to – it becomes the soundtrack to your life. You don't need a poetry degree to understand this stuff – it talks about your life on a day-to-day basis.
