On this gospel-themed collection, the artist who brought "new traditionalism" to Nashville goes all the way back to the Rock of Ages. Old-time religion meets old-time country on "Feet on the Rock," with other material ranging from the Judgement Day literalism of "Which Way Will You Choose" to the mystically metaphorical "See Myself in You" to a stripped-to-the-bone, album-closing rendition of "Amazing Grace." The loping "The Carpenter" (one of three songs cowritten by Travis) features guest vocals from Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, while "Doctor Jesus," with its mournful steel guitar, could pass for vintage George Jones. Though some of the lesser tracks are stronger on sermonizing than musical appeal, the melodic uplift of "Baptism" could highlight any Travis album. --Don McLeese

spirit and artistry November 11, 2003

Every aspect of this carefully chosen and crafted collection of inspirational songs is superb. The music will delight your ears and the words lift your spirit.
The musicianship is flawless, and Randy's tender, heartfelt interpretations filled with beauty. The simplicity of his "Amazing Grace" is a fitting final track; sung with minimal backing, it is a powerful rendition of this glorious hymn.
Randy co-wrote three of the songs, and all are wonderful: "The Carpenter" (w. Chip Taylor and Ron Avis), is a trio with Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, "Walk with Me" (w. Les Bohan), is a bouncy tune with words that are a lovely prayer, and "I Am Going" (w. Buck Moore), is about leaving this life with joy and no regrets.Other favorites include two up-tempo songs: "Feet on the Rock" (Troy Seals/Buck Moore), "I put my feet on the rock, and my name on the roll~When it's called up yonder, I won't worry 'bout my soul", is a track where his entire band gets to shine, and "Which Way Will You Choose" (Ron Block), is an end-times admonition with fabulous fiddle work by Hank Singer.
The small booklet insert has the lyrics and recording info, and total time is 41'22.
If you like traditional country music, this CD is a musical journey well worth taking.
Soul inspiring lyrics & music. I can't stop playing this CD October 16, 2001

I really didn't expect to love this CD all that much. I've always liked Randy Travis' music, but a little bit was just right. However "Inspirational Journey" is astonishing. From "I Am Going" to "Baptism" all of the songs just catch your soul and send you soaring. I'm just hoping Randy Travis does another album like this in the near future.

"Feet on the Rock" will be a major hit. Matthew 7, Sermon on the Mount all in a very inspirational tune. The rest is solid Randy Travis.
Throw on your shoes and run to the record store March 12, 2001

WOW! Put on your shoes, grab your car keys, and race over to the local record hut to get your own copy of Inspirational Journey.First, there's Randy Travis's "authentic" voice. A voice which reels you in with the very first word, hooks you, and does not let go of you till the CD has whirled to a stop. This man could sing the Yukka Flats phonebook, if there is such a thing, and have you on the edge of your musical seat. The richness of his voice. The phrasing you can never anticipate. The sincerity. Many very popular singers of today do verbal gymnastics like the Ukranian team warming up for the winter games and they don't "say" a thing. Randy Travis can sneeze and you've got the whole story. Combine his voice and the incredible musicians/backup singers with brilliant writing in the country/gospel genre which would make any old Nashville dude sit up and take notice. You will be thinking about the meaning of these songs long after you hear the final word. Like a musical O. Henry. Don't read the lyrics before you listen to Inspirational Journey the first time. There will be some toe tapping, maybe some tears. Genuine.
Good Messages, Good Music March 14, 2001

This is a great album. Firstly, almost all the songs have excellent messages (I would dispute "Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle"), the country music is awesome, and Randy sounds passionate. Shallow Water is a beautifully harmonized opener, and it deals with the struggle of living a Christian life in an age of skepticism. Faith, by the grace of God, endures. Drive Another Nail is poignant and very likable. Doctor Jesus is excellent for its guitar, and just about everything else. Amazing Grace ends the album up. How fitting to keep the focus on the grace of God unto the sinful man for redemption. In short, the songs all sound good. A sure winner.
