Now that I’m sober
I wrote this with Bobby Terry. He is such an incredible talented guitar player and songwriter and producer. I found an old hard drive that had some songs I had almost forgotten about. This song was on it. So many memories came flooding I to my head and heart.
July 19 2010 I took my last drink. Every July 19, I send a text to my friend Roger and I say thank you for taking my call.

Talking about a song I rode with Jeffrey Steele and Chuck Cannon. These are two of the finest songwriters that have ever written songs in Nashville or anywhere else for that matter. And even more importantly they are dear friends to me. I talk about how the song came to be about the writing process and a little bit about the demo. I hope you enjoy it. thank you for listening Love T

This is a song I started before Cove it and finished recently with a Jeff Steele. I think it is incredibly hooky and deserves to be on the radio, but what do I know. I had been thinking about going to the beach during Covid as an escape. I think we all wanted the insanity to be over and for me a beach in the middle of nowhere sounded like the perfect place to be.

The story behind writing and performing stupid today. I always wanted to put this on a record and I never could find a spot where it fit. I always love this song. When I’m making records though everything has to feed sonically lyrically and Thematically. For whatever reason and as luck would have it but never made a record. I hope you enjoy Love t

    Been a live music performer for 40 years… for the past 20 years I’ve been doing at least one gig per day… restaurants, country clubs, coffee shops, bars, weddings… Gave up trying to write my own songs years ago because I just didn’t want to tour to promote… just want to stay in my local area… if I could write a song like this it would be my proudest accomplishment… Brother this song just ripped my heart out… My dad left us when I was nine and man he was an abusive drunk… anyway, I somehow was able to stay away from the booze and I learned how not to treat a woman from that asshole and my wife is my princess… Man this is a hell of a tune… ❤

    What an incredible talent! Songwriters like Mr. Meadows are made by a sharp intellect, life lessons and a good heart. What a great sound and the writing, my goodness the writing is THE way to get out the emotion from heart and head, to paper, to fingers and then music for the soul. I wish you nothing but peace, joy and happiness brother. I got off the path years ago but I've been back on it for several years now. I stumble now and again but I know how to handle things better. Thanks man for the beautiful music and more importantly, the beautiful soul you have shared with us all. God bless sir!

    Another great song. Funny how you can speak to me directly through your songs. Maybe because I medicated myself for decades with wine and beer. I think I can tell a good songwriter from a parking meter, having written some myself. This is all pure gold. Sideways and Riser always water my eyes. Thank you, Michael Palmisano, and thank you Travis for staying among the living.

    Travis this is Marty from back in Mississippi. I wanna tell you how much your music is meant to me specially, the song Riser . When you sing that song music is emotions and you bring out the most emotions in me of any music I’ve ever listen to because I can see myself and some of your songs specially when you use phrases from back where we lived and yes I’ve been sober for a while too. Been married 35 years and I have two great sons. When is this song made me cry too . Cause I’m a Riser. Broke my hip three months ago replaced it with a new hip has come out three times so tomorrow they’re gonna operate on me again and hopefully put a better model in there or something. I don’t know I’ll just have to push through. That’s me.

    “Push it down, it comes out sideways!” Travis, your lyrics in this song are so powerful! They explain exactly how I feel at times , before this I had no words that really explained how I felt. Your music and lyrics move me in ways that were previously foreign to me and have now created understanding where previously there was none. My best friend introduced you to me and I am so grateful for him, for you, your music, and listening to you authentically share your life story with the world. God bless you and your family and thank you for making my life a little brighter.

    As of this writing, I am waiting for my old highschool girlfriend to die. She is an alcoholic and stopped eating weeks ago. Now in hospice. Your song made my eyes water because some make it and some don't. We are both in our 60's. It's my priviledge to help her pass, but wish we were having a different kind of celebration for her life. That song needs to be released. Hugs forever and a day and God Bless you and yours 1000-fold.
