One man sparked the legendary Eagles reunion, picked a famous public fight over "Achy Breaky Heart," and swore his vacation cabin was haunted by a 19th-century hoodoo doctor. Put together, it sounds like three different lifetimes, but it is all Travis Tritt, the Marietta, Georgia kid who fused Southern rock and country into a sound entirely his own.

This episode follows Tritt's rule-breaking rise: how he ignored Nashville's playbook, why his music helped pull the Eagles back together for a landmark tribute, and the feuds, ghosts, and grit that made his story one of country's most colorful.
