When Travis Tritt steps up to the mic with just his guitar and plays Here’s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares), you can feel every person in the crowd sit up a little straighter. This is not some sweet, sad breakup ballad. This is a line in the sand. It’s Travis, looking an old flame in the eye, saying, “Nice try, but you won’t fool me again.
The best part is how easy it sounds when he does it acoustically. No big band, no flashing lights, just his voice, his guitar, and that sly grin that says he knows exactly what he is doing. The crowd is in on it too, they see the line is coming, and they cannot wait to yell it right back at him. It is that perfect country moment when someone has wronged everyone in the room and gets to shout it out together.
Travis Tritt “Here’s a Quarter” Acoustic Live 2/7/14
People love this song because it is honest and petty in the best way. Sometimes, you do not want to forgive and forget. Sometimes, you want to roll down your window and shout, “Call someone who cares,” and then drive off with the radio blasting. That is precisely what this song feels like.
Travis knows how to balance that fire with something more profound, too. After Here’s a Quarter, he might lean into Anymore. If one song is about saying goodbye with a smile, then Anymore is about admitting you are still hurting underneath it all.

Fans love Anymore because it shows his softer side. It reminds you that he is not just a tough guy with a smart comeback. He is also someone who knows how to say I miss you when the lights go down.
Travis keeps that mix of tough and tender alive online too. He shares stories from the road, funny memories, and old clips that prove he is still the same guy who always speaks his mind.
