Mary Travis expressed disbelief at the prospect of hearing her husband's voice again after 11 years of silence due to his health issues.

Randy Travis suffered a massive stroke over a decade ago, which left him unable to sing due to aphasia.

Kyle Lehning, Travis' longtime producer, initially found the idea of using AI to recreate Travis' voice unsettling but later collaborated on the project.

Following the success of the new song, Travis' team is considering creating an entire album using the AI model voice and other donor voices, indicating strong ongoing interest from fans.

The Travises are aware of the ethical implications of AI in music and have testified before Congress about potential risks, including the unauthorized use of artists' voices.

Mary Travis emphasized the importance of consent in using AI technology, stating, "It feels like identity theft" when artists' voices are exploited without permission.

In 2023, Randy Travis, a revered country music performer, released a new song titled "Where That Came From," made possible through artificial intelligence technology.

A London-based tech firm developed a unique AI model of Travis' voice using recordings from 1985 to 2010 to create this new song.

To complement the AI-generated voice, rising country singer James Dupré provided the lyrics, blending his voice with Travis' in the recording process.

Fans experienced the new AI song live at a concert in Pensacola, resulting in a standing ovation for the Travises.
