Their\u00a0Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony<em>\u00a0<\/em>served as the game changing moment in which Travis was inducted into the coveted hall by none other than legendary country musician Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst various other artists, Brooks also gave a tribute performance to the new inductee, giving the entire audience the chills with his incredible\u00a0rendition of Travis\u2019 hit \u201cThree Wooden Crosses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brooks sang of the tragic story Travis originally told in 2002, describing a bus full of men and women from various backgrounds that ultimately crashes and kills all but one. The hit song conveys the idea that the lone survivor, a stripper, was given another opportunity by God to live a better live and right her wrongs as a child of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers of Brooks\u2019 performance hailed his tribute as \u201cperfection\u201d and praised the singer for his incredible talent and genuine emotion.
