The band's name comes from the character Travis Henderson (played by Harry Dean Stanton) from the film Paris, Texas (1984).
The band released their debut album, Good Feeling (1997), to moderate success where it debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was later awarded a silver certification from the BPI in January 2000. The band gained greater success with their second album, The Man Who (1999), which spent nine weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, totalling 134 weeks in the top 100 of the chart. In 2003, The Man Who was certified 9× platinum by the BPI, representing sales of over 2.68 million in the UK alone. Following this success, the band released their third effort, The Invisible Band (2001) album. The Invisible Band went on to match the success found with their previous album, where it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent a total of four weeks at the top spot, fifteen weeks in the top ten, and a total of fifty-five weeks in the top 100 chart, as well as peaking at thirty-nine on the US Billboard 200 album chart, spending a duration of seven weeks in the Billboard 200 chart. A year following the release of The Invisible Band, the BPI awarded Travis with a 4× platinum certification for the album.
In recent years, the band's discography has included studio albums 12 Memories (2003), The Boy with No Name (2007), Ode to J. Smith (2008), Where You Stand (2013), Everything at Once (2016) and 10 Songs (2020). In 2004, the band released their first greatest hits album, Singles, which spent nineteen weeks in the top 100 of the UK albums chart. Travis have twice been awarded best band at the BRIT Awards and were awarded the NME Artist of the Year award at their 2000 ceremony, and in 2016 were honoured at the Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music. The band are widely said by the media to have paved the way for other bands such as Keane and Coldplay to go on to achieve worldwide success throughout the 2000s, particularly with the success of The Man Who.
Craft Recordings celebrated the 20th anniversary of Travis' breakthrough year with two simultaneous releases: Live at Glastonbury '99, plus expanded editions of The Man Who – both of which were released on 21 June 2019.

Father and Son
Travis Lyrics
I prayed a prayer last night to Heaven
It wasn't fancy, kinda plain
And I was feeling sad and lonely
Like I'd lost my greatest friend
And I had no one left to talk to
And my eyes were filled with tears
When I heard my Savior answer
And it was music to my ears
He said, "My child, I will forgive you
You know that's why I bled and died
I know the struggles you've been facing
And all the pain you feel inside
And I know you're truly sorry
For the wrong things that you've done
Just remember child, I love you
Like the Father loves His Son"
Talked it over with Jesus
And He explained it all so well
How He gave His life to save me
From the awful fires of hell
And I listened with amazement
As He spoke to me alone
And He assured of his promise
That He'd come back to take me home
He said, "My child, I will forgive you
You know that's why I bled and died
I know the struggles you've been facing
And all the pain you feel inside
And I know you're truly sorry
For the wrong things that you've done
Just remember child, I love you
Like the Father loves His Son"
Yeah, just remember child I love you
Like the Father loves His Son
It wasn't fancy, kinda plain
And I was feeling sad and lonely
Like I'd lost my greatest friend
And I had no one left to talk to
And my eyes were filled with tears
When I heard my Savior answer
And it was music to my ears
He said, "My child, I will forgive you
I know the struggles you've been facing
And all the pain you feel inside
And I know you're truly sorry
For the wrong things that you've done
Just remember child, I love you
Like the Father loves His Son"
Talked it over with Jesus
And He explained it all so well
How He gave His life to save me
From the awful fires of hell
And I listened with amazement
As He spoke to me alone
And He assured of his promise
That He'd come back to take me home
He said, "My child, I will forgive you
You know that's why I bled and died
I know the struggles you've been facing
And all the pain you feel inside
And I know you're truly sorry
For the wrong things that you've done
Just remember child, I love you
Like the Father loves His Son"
Yeah, just remember child I love you
Like the Father loves His Son
