Wind in the Wire is the seventh studio album released by American country music artist Randy Travis. Released in 1993 on Warner Bros. Records, the album was made to accompany a television series also entitled Wind in the Wire.[1] Two of the album's singles — "Cowboy Boogie" and the title track — entered the Billboard country music charts, peaking at #46 and #65, respectively, making this the first album of Travis's career not to produce any Top 40 hits in the United States.[5] "Cowboy Boogie", however, was a #10 on the RPM Country Tracks charts in Canada.

In addition, this album is also one of three albums not to be produced by Travis' longtime record producer, Kyle Lehning.
