James Dupré was just as surprised as everyone when he heard Randy Travis’s AI-assisted vocal on “Where That Came From” for the first time a few weeks ago, but not just because it was the country legend’s first new song since suffering a 2013 stroke that robbed him of his speech. Dupré was stunned when he realized that it was actually his voice he was hearing, at least in part.
“I really just thought he recorded it years ago and I never knew about it,” Dupré tells Rolling Stone.

Randy Travis, who lost much of his speech in a 2013 stroke, used artificial intelligence technology to clone his voice for his first recording in more than a decade.
Travis, his longtime producer Kyle Lehning, Travis’s wife Mary, and Warner Music Nashville co-chair and co-president Cris Lacy spoke with CBS Sunday Morning to detail how AI helped create “Where That Came From,” Travis’s new song that released on Friday. The full report will air Sunday.
Lehning confirmed that another singer performed the initial vocals before overlaying the raw performance with Travis’s voice clone.

Country Music Hall of Fame member Randy Travis has released his first new song in over a decade, “Where That Came From.” The announcement, delivered via the “Forever and Ever, Amen” vocalist’s social media, has spurred considerable excitement and curiosity from country fans and marks one of the most impossible comebacks in music history: Travis has been mostly unable to sing or speak since suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2013.
The questions about how Travis recorded the new song are myriad, and his team kept the information close to the vest until Friday,...

Toby Keith performed what many believed would be his last live show after being diagnosed with stomach cancer last year.
Keith canceled the remainder of his 2022 shows during treatment, but despite the toll the disease has taken on his body, he couldn’t miss performing in Kentucky for the Breeders’ Cup horse races this week.
Fans were shocked by his appearance at his hour-long set in Lexington, Kentucky, noting that he was gaunt and slouching.
The 61-year-old country singer has been undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and surgery for the last year. Earlier this month, Keith said on social media the treatments were “pretty debilitating” and that he was taking time to “breathe, heal and rest.”
Friends said he wanted to prove to himself that he could still go out on stage.
Following the impromptu show, Keith accepted the BMI Icon Award in Nashville, joining the ranks of other legendary award-winners such as Dolly Parton,...

Unstoppable album releaser Willie Nelson will drop yet another new LP with the release of A Beautiful Time. The record arrives April 29 — Nelson’s 89th birthday.
Willie previews the record with the first track “I’ll Love You Till the Day I Die,” a song written by Chris Stapleton and Rodney Crowell. It’s a dusty, harmonica-accented song about never-ending affection born from a brief encounter, and Willie sells it as if he’s lived it himself. The Red Headed Stranger debuted the song with an accompanying lyric video featuring...

“It’s been way too long since you slipped away/I just can’t forget, I can’t pretend it’s Ok,” Alan Jackson sings in his new song “Where Have You Gone.” It could easily be about the lover who left him, but he quickly lays bare the subject of his lament: country music itself.
“Soft steel guitar, oh how I’ve missed you/words from the heart, let me hear you again,” Jackson sings in “Where Have You Gone,” the weeping steel-and-fiddle title track of his just announced new album.
