The Storm is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Travis Tritt. It was also his only album for the Category 5 label. In 2013, Travis Tritt re-released the album under the new title The Calm After via his own label Post Oak Records. The re-release features two new songs consisting of classic covers.
Five of this album's tracks are covers: "Should've Listened" was originally recorded by Canadian rock band Nickelback on their album The Long Road , "I Don't Know How I Got By" was originally recorded by Edwin McCain for the soundtrack of the film The Family Man , "You Never Take Me Dancing" was previously recorded by Richard Marx on his album Flesh and Bone , "Somehow, Somewhere, Someway" was written/recorded by Kenny Wayne Shepherd from his 1997 album Trouble Is... , and "The Pressure Is On" is the title cut of a 1981 album release by Hank Williams, Jr. "You Never Take Me Dancing" was released as a single from this album, reaching number 27 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2007. It was followed by "Something Stronger Than Me", which failed to chart. Category 5 closed soon afterward.
In 2013, Tritt acquired the rights to the album in order to re-release it via his own Post Oak Records under the title The Calm After... The re-release includes a cover of the Patty Smyth and Don Henley duet "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" with his daughter, Tyler Reese, [1] and a cover of Faces' "Stay with Me". [2] The Calm After... sold more than 2,000 copies in its opening week and entered the Country Albums chart at number 31.
