'Sunday Morning' has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the country singer's first post-stroke song, 'Where That Came From,' which blends art with artificial intelligence in a recording that captures Travis' country heart.

Even if you're not into country, you can't help but bathe in the baritone that is Randy Travis. His voice goes down like whisky – always has, ever since his first album, 'Storms of Life,' in 1986. 'I thought if we sold 40,000 copies they might let us make a second record.' said producer Kyle Lehning.They ended up selling four million. 'So, I'm a genius!' Lehning laughed. Randy Travis and that voice helped build Warner Music Nashville into what it is today.

In this case, that voice came from country music singer James DuPre.The AI program – the 'secret sauce' – takes Travis' voice and overlays it on top of DuPre's singing. It's hardly an exact science. 'It's not about how it sounds; it's about how it feels,' Lehning said. And that is not something a computer can figure out. 'Not yet!' Lehning laughed. He knows Travis' voice almost better than Randy does; they've worked together for 40 years.
