Chandler Travis, King of the World
Bringing you a new song every week (or so…)
Often the song will be a recently recorded live, home demo, studio track or video from Chandler & Co; or it could be something from our archives, culled from our discography or from the live vault; other times it will be music by friends or musicians that we just plain dig and want to share with you; and occasionally it will be a fan video or some bizarre YouTube video that uses our music as a soundtrack.
The Chandler Travis “Song of the Weak!!!” is lovingly curated by The Valet and is now available via RSS feed!

“One Step Forward” – Travis & Shook, probably recorded at Kelp Manore in 1994. Recently dug up kind of a nice Travis & Shook track I’d forgotten about completely, “One Step Forward” (not to be confused with the Three-O’s “One Step Forward” on their debut
