"Dude, I knew he could sing, but I had no idea he could do that blue-eyed soul thing!"
— Producer Randy Jackson

Tritt is perhaps best known for the hit single "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" from his 1989 album of the same name. That album achieved platinum status, as did his first release, "Country Club" from which his first No. 1 hit "Help Me Hold On" was achieved. Other memorable releases include "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)," "It's a Great Day to Be Alive," "Tell Me I Was Dreaming" and a cover version of the Eagles' "Take it Easy."

Tritt received two Grammy® Awards in his music career, both for Best Country Vocal Collaboration: in 1992 for "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'," a duet with Marty Stuart, and again in 1998 for "Same Old Train," a collaboration of more than ten country music artists. He has received three awards from the Country Music Association including Vocal Event of the Year twice (1993 and 1992) and the coveted Horizon Award in 1991. He was accepted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1992 when he was only 29 years old.

His most recent album, titled "The Storm" was co-produced by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and released in August 2007. Jackson qualified it as "blue-eyed soul" with tunes like Tritt's "Rub Off on Me" and a cover of Richard Marx's "You Never Take Me Dancing." Other cuts exhibit a bluesful, Southern-rock vibe like the notably intense Nickelback cover "Should've Listened" and a Hank Williams Jr. cover "The Pressure Is On."
