It was released as a <a href="/wiki/Double_A-side" class="mw-redirect" title="Double A-side">double A-side</a> with "<a href="/wiki/Hello_Mary_Lou" title="Hello Mary Lou">Hello Mary Lou</a>", which reached No. 9 on the same chart.<sup id="cite_ref-whitburn_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-whitburn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, "Travelin' Man", coupled with "Hello Mary Lou", reached No. 2, becoming Nelson's biggest UK hit. Nelson is accompanied on the recording by the vocal quartet, <a href="/wiki/The_Jordanaires" title="The Jordanaires">The Jordanaires</a>.
