"When they talk about music getting in your blood, I understand exactly what they're talking about, because that is me," says Travis Tritt with a laugh. "And really, I feel that that's pretty much what I was put here on earth to do. It's like Chet Atkins used to say when he talked about musicians and their instruments, that when they're not holding their instruments, they feel like a part of them's missing. There's a black hole there somewhere that can only be filled by that. And it's the same way for performing, and for writing, and all the creative process. When you're not making music and you're a musician, you really, really miss it."
