You and You Alone is the eleventh studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released on April 21, 1998 by DreamWorks Records. It was 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]
"Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man" was originally recorded by Mark Collie on his 1995 album, Tennessee Plates. "Horse Called Music" is a Willie Nelson cover from his 1989 album, A Horse Called Music. "Satisfied Mind" is a Hal Ketchum cover from his 1996 greatest-hits album, The Hits.
"Only Worse" was best known for playing in the background of a diner in the 2000 comedy film Road Trip.
Patrick Swayze, a friend of Travis', sang background vocals on the track "I Did My Part".[4]
