A superbly produced song, with great balance between Travis’s singing and the instrumentation, Forever and Ever Amen hit country music like a locomotive: The song was Travis’s third #1 single, and garnered a Grammy for Best Country and Western Song and an Academy of Country Music award for Song of the Year. If that isn’t enough, the album that contained the song – Always and Forever – was number one for 43 weeks. It isn’t stretching too far to say the song put Country Music on the map for a lot of people who hadn’t listened to it before. Want it put in more authoritative words? According to CountryMusicPerformers.com, Forever and Ever Amen ‘arguably launched the neotraditionalist country era, boosting the popularity of country music beyond its traditional fan base.’
We just like the song.
