Many country singers of yore, like Johnny Cash and Townes Van Zandt, had an outlaw image that seems completely absent from the CMT-centric country world of today. Of course much of that mystique came from the two singers' long struggles with substance abuse.

Over the past decade, Travis has recorded a string of gospel albums. On Wednesday, however, Travis' outlaw side returned with a vengeance. The country star was charged with DWI in Texas after crashing his car and threatening the responding officers, CBS reports.
