There are tributes that feel more like prayers than performances, and that is exactly what happened at the ACM Honors when Jamey Johnson stepped onstage to sing “Three Wooden Crosses.” According to sources, the moment was crafted to honor Randy Travis and it carried a weight that reached far beyond the walls of the Ryman Auditorium.
The ballad itself has always been more than just music it is a story of faith, sacrifice and unexpected redemption. In Johnson’s hands it became a living testament to Randy’s legacy. The audience sat hushed hanging on each word while Randy seated among them took in the tribute with quiet grace.
