About the Song
Carrying a name that echoes through the heart of country music, Michael Twitty, son of the legendary Conway Twitty, has always embraced both the weight and the wonder of his family legacy. With his version of “Between an Old Memory and Me,” Michael steps into that emotional lineage with quiet grace — paying tribute not just to the song, but to the deeply human emotions it captures.
Originally recorded by Travis Tritt in 1994, “Between an Old Memory and Me” is a barroom ballad filled with sorrow, solitude, and reflection — a story of a man who seeks comfort in the quiet company of a drink and the lingering shadow of a love he can’t quite forget. It’s not about moving on — it’s about learning how to live in the space where the heart still aches.
In Michael Twitty’s hands, the song becomes more than a tribute. It becomes a lived experience. With a voice that holds both warmth and weariness, he doesn’t just sing the words — he inhabits them. You can hear the influence of his father’s emotional depth, but also something uniquely his: a sincerity and reverence that comes from walking a path both honored and humbling.
His performance is stripped down, honest, and free from pretension — just as this kind of song should be. Whether it’s on stage or on record, Michael knows how to connect with an audience who misses not only the golden era of country music, but the storytelling heart that defined it.
“Between an Old Memory and Me” is the kind of song that lingers, and in Michael Twitty’s voice, it reminds us that some memories — and some voices — never fade. They just find new ways to live on.
