Full Circle is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released on August 13, 1996 by Warner Records.[3][4] His last album for Warner Bros. Records until 2008 (not counting his later country-gospel works for Word/Warner/Curb), the album produced four singles: "Are We in Trouble Now", "Would I", "Price to Pay", and a cover of Roger Miller's hit single "King of the Road"; the cover also appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Traveller.

"Are We in Trouble Now" was written by Mark Knopfler.[5] Travis cowrote three of the album's songs.[6]

The Lincoln Journal Star wrote that "when he's on, Travis' lonesome North Carolina baritone slurs and slides with smoothness and feeling that few can match."[10] USA Today thought that "Travis' aching baritone again sounds fresh as rain compared with the river of drivel pouring out of Nashville."[11]
