Love Travels is the tenth studio album by American country music artist, Kathy Mattea.

Love Travels spawned four singles, two of which made the North American country songs charts: "455 Rocket" and the title track.

Steve Huey of AllMusic described Kathy Mattea as "one of the most respected female country stars of her era" as well as "a commercially successful hitmaker".

During the eighties and nineties, four of Mattea's singles topped the North American country charts: "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses", "Goin' Gone", "Burnin' Old Memories" and "Come from the Heart".

The final track, "Beautiful Fool", discusses how social leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to solve problems without using physical violence.

"[1] The Chicago Tribune gave the project three out of four stars, noting the blending the album's incorporation of various musical styles.

"Mattea just keeps rolling along in her 11th studio album, another engaging effort highlighted by songs from Gillian Welch, Jim Lauderdale, Cheryl Wheeler and Janis Ian.

Love and the human spirit reign triumphant in songs that urge listeners to find their muses and trust those pesky inner voices," the newspaper commented.

Her previous release Walking Away a Winner was radio friendly, but she's back on more personal, even spiritual ground on Love Travels.
