You and You Alone (album)

You and You Alone is the eleventh studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. His first album for DreamWorks Records Nashville, it produced four singles on the Billboard country music charts between 1998 and 1999: "Out of My Bones", "The Hole", "Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man", and "Stranger in My Mirror", which peaked at numbers 2, 9, 2 and 16, respectively, on the country charts. Counting his 1993 side project Wind in the Wire, this is also the second of three studio albums of his career not to be produced by longtime producer Kyle Lehning (Travis' succeeding album, 1999's A Man Ain't Made of Stone, was the third and final project that Lehning did not produce). Instead, Travis co-produced the album with Byron Gallimore and James Stroud.[4]
