A Man Ain't Made of Stone is the twelfth studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released on September 21, 1999 by DreamWorks Records. It was produced four singles, of which only one — the title track — was a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country charts. Additionally, this album was the last of only three albums in Travis' career not to be produced by longtime producer, Kyle Lehning.
Two of this album's tracks were previously cut by other artists: "A Little Bitty Crack in Her Heart" on Sammy Kershaw's 1996 album Politics, Religion and Her, and "I'll Be Right Here Loving You" on Rhett Akins' 1998 album What Livin's All About.
